Delete variables

[Former Member]

Hi,

When making queries for reports there is shown a lot of variables that I don't use, is it possible to delete these variables and what is the easiest way to do so?

Best Regards

Hello Anette,

yes, it is generally possible to delete variables. You can delete them by doing a right mouse-click and choosing "delete".

The tricky part, however, is that a variable cannot be deleted if it is used in any query. You can call up a where-used list for a variable (also with right mouse-click) to display the queries that use the variable.

Regards,

Christian!

Hi Anette

Variables wont effect you. May be in u r case there were more no of queries on u r

target so each variable is used by some other queries.the procedure fr deletion is

same as mentioned above .right click on the varible in the left panel and say

delete .

<u><b>How ever make sure of the variable which u r going to

delete is not used by any queries..</b></u>

Thanks & Regards

Thanks, I wanted to try and remove/delete some of the variables because some users found it confusing when they saw ex. 10 variables when they only needed 1
