what is variable ?

Answer Posted / kvchowdary

Variables are used to prevent the same computation being
performed several times as the variable allows you to store
the values so that they can be used later. A variable
represents specific data or a value, and acts as a
placeholder for that value. Unlike a constant value, which
is fixed and unchanging, a variable can be repeatedly
assigned different values. You assign a value to a variable
and the variable maintains the value until you later assign
a new value. Because of this flexibility, it is necessary
for you to declare variables before you use them. Variables
can be treated as a normal attribute, that is, it can be a
source or target of a transform

Regarding Hyperlinking in Business Objects. We have a few reports in QA environment where a number of hyperlinks are employed using OpenDoc function.In some of the reports,hyperlink is used to move to another tab within the same report.The formula used include "DocID" and ReportName="tab name".This works fine but now,for the PROD move,this will not work as the Doc Ids are subject to change. Is there a way to overcome this?Without DocID,how will move to a particular tab? Thanks in advance
