Setting a Global Variable 1

[alienjr]

I need to set a variable in one subreport that will carry over to other subreports. I am finding that if the date field is blank in one subreport, I get garbage. I want to be able to take the Date field from one subreport and place it in a second subreport if the second subreport Date field is blank and visa versa. My current variable formula is as such:

Global datevar DD;

if trim({list_wpbins4_hist._DATE}) <> ""

then

DD:= Date (tonumber("20"+right(maximum({list_wpbins4_hist._DATE}),2)),tonumber(left(maximum({list_wpbins4_hist._DATE}),2)),tonumber(mid(maximum({list_wpbins4_hist._DATE}),4,2)))

else if trim(totext(DD)) = "" then

CurrentDate

else

DD;



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

You need to use [bold]Shared[/bold] variables in order to cross Subreport - Main Report boundaries.

Thanks,

Do I replace the "Global datevar DD" with "Shared datevar DD" ?
