$FLEX$ and $PROFILES$ are Special Variables in oracle Apps
environment and are used to hold values at runtime.
-->Every Oracle Apps technical consultant will be familiar
with the term $FLEX$ and $PROFILES$. Whenever we are working
with value sets, we will be using both of these for
modifying the data fetched, for basing the values of a
parameter on the other parameter and also fetching the
Profile Option values.
To segregate this based on the functionality
-->$FLEX$: Used for basing the value of a parameter on
another parameter.
-->$PROFILES$: used for fetching the data stored in the
specified profile option value which is currently active.

Where is it used?

Both these variables are used in the Parameter form of a
Concurrent Program and are used at the Where Clause window
in the value set ofTable type.

Syntax:
:$FLEX$.previous_value_set_name
Important:
• $FLEX$ must always be in capitals.
• A ‘:’ must precede the declaration of $FLEX$.
• The previous value set name must have already been
assigned and saved on a different parameter.

:$PROFILES$.Profile_option_name

Important:
• $PROFILES$ must be always in capitals.
• ‘:’ must always precede the declaration.
• Profile option name is the Profile Name and not to
be confused with the User profile Name.
