[CLOSED] True global variable
Ok, We don't have to use &&VAR as a global. We can use &Var. However, can we get a variable that is available to self-service apps, MRE apps and Report caster?

Ok, I can put a var into the the custom settings of admin console, but they are not picked up by caster.

I know I can place them in the pre-process of caster, but we will need many fexes and many schedules in the future.

Any way to do it all truly in one place and only once?

Fernando

Have you tried putting it in edasprof.prf? I think that's read by self-service, MRE and RC.

The EDASPROF would be my suggestion as well. However, it seems a little strange that you would need a user variable (as opposed to a system variable) that would be used for EVERYTHING. Seems like that should be a system setting or handled in the DBMS.

We have a variable in edasprof.prf that contains a disclaimer text that is to be added to every report footing.
