Hi,

select the variable -> which one your are putting as variable -> go to change mode -> goto details tab -> select variable id - mandatory then save it

after running the query in RSRT you should enter the input values.

variable you can change at info provide global area in query designer.

Thanks,

Phani.

Dear seshu p

I have a question here.
As you have mentioned to check  check once either those variables are used for another query,

What should I do if the variable is used in other queries too?
Would you suggest ??

Hi Aparajit,

If you change this variable properties as mandatory it will effect existing queries which are using those that variable , In that case we need  to create new Variable for same IOBJ  with type Mandatory .

Thanks.

Hi,

seshu said correct.

ex - i have 3 queries i am using same variable for all 3 queries. (variable on company_code)

but user want see 1 and 2 query optional values and 3 query want see the mandatory values.

then you can create the 2 variables 1 variable mandatory option 2nd variable optional.

based on the checking variable property you can add the variables for specific queries.

Thanks,

Phani.
