Change Variables
Has anyone had success with the change parameters (Variables)? I have several reports that all have a simple substitution variable |CVTimeDesc|. When running the book, I would like to change that V...
Forum Discussion
If your question is how to change the value of |CVTimeDesc| to something custom, I don't believe you can. CVTimeDesc is a substitution variable controlled by the system. Any variable enclosed in "|" only is a substitution variable.
Custom parameters are typically enclosed in "|!" which are usually defined through parameters under Workspaces.
Hope that helps?

Hey Alex,
Thanks for the response. I do understand the difference between variables and parameters. I'm struggling with using the change parameter function in the report book itself. I want to change the variable to something different at run-time.
Are there variables and substitution variables different? If we are unable to change, then why does the application have a "change parameter - variable" section is in book? I assumed it would work the same as Parameters, where I can define an answer, but its not working.
