In this activity you define the global variables for drilldown reports. You can use these variables in all forms and reports for drilldown reporting for that area.
You can use the global variables to give you greater flexibility when structuring your reports and the column/row format of your forms. The variables are parameters which you only determine when defining or executing a report; you enter the required variables in a dialog box.
Global variables begin with a "&". Variables defined by SAP have a number as the second character.
You define a new variable by specifying a
variable type and name.
The variable type defines how you plan to use the variable in future (e.g. for
a characteristic value, a text, or a formula).
When the data has been released, the relevant entry fields are displayed.
