[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to create a variable in BEx 7.0

In 3.5, when we right click on a characteristic, we used to get an option for restrict.

I cant find any such option in 7.0

Hi,

Right click on the characteristic 0CALMONTH in the default values or drag it to char. restriction section and say restrict.Pull the drop down menu in that to select variables. There u will get a create icon.Click on that...then in details tab u can specify whether mandatory,interval and all..

Hi,

What is the use of a variable??

If i am not mistaken,when we define a variable, we get a selection screen when the query executes, right??

Yes you are right.

This is user selection screen wherein user enter their selection criteria to see desired result.
