Basic query : How to create a Global variable ?

rbuser

Hi there,

We have a sub-report which is totalling up and we then need to pass this
total value back out ot the main report and I have been advised that we need
to use a global variable via RAP.

The only problem is that none of our developers seem to know how to do this
so.....any help please ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Paul,

Paul is correct. Below is a small example of what he is talking about.

Hi,
Was interested in seeing how the below was done, I have downloaded and
extracted the zip file, what do I need to be able to open the files
contained within?

Hi Stuart,

Inside the zip file is a Delphi project that demonstrates how to calculate a
total from a subreport inside the main report using RAP code. You should be
able to simply open the .dpr project file in Delphi and compile the
application. Note that you will need to have ReportBuilder Enterprise or
Server installed.
