Declaring Script Variables

 

Script variables can be declared and used locally within a script.  Once declared, a script variable can have a value assigned to it.  A variable’s name must be unique.  This means the name must not be duplicated, the name of any other report object, standard function, or constant. 

 

The example below shows a declaration and assignment of script variable in use:

  var

    MyVariable: String;

  begin

    MyVariable := 'Hello!';

  end.

 

The variable’s value can be displayed in a Text object on the report by typing [MyVariable] into the text object. 

The [ and ] brackets tell the report engine to display the variable named within the brackets.
