As the title describes I have a set of data in a compound document that will be used in one report. In a completely set of data I need to use a min value in a computed field. Is it possible to store that value in a parameter so my computed field later on can be

COMPUTE CUSTOM/D12 = &MINPARAM / Field

This can be a way from the moment the original value exist in a table/file:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM MIN.RETAIL_COST AS MINRCST
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD FORMAT BINARY
END
-RUN
-READFILE HLD

-TYPE &MINRCST


But without knowing how does your value is stored, difficult to gives you correct solution.

That code does not seem to be setting the variable as desired. That as statement doesn't seem to be transmitting to variable.

TABLE FILE AITRANS
SUM
MIN.Net_Worth AS NETWORTH
WHERE Client_Number = 1111111
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD FORMAT BINARY
-RUN
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 7 LINES= 1
-READFILE HLD
-TYPE
END

The End command is at the wrong place and you must specify what to display (-TYPE)

TABLE FILE AITRANS
SUM MIN.Net_Worth AS NETWORTH
WHERE Client_Number = 1111111
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD FORMAT BINARY
END
-RUN
-READFILE HLD
-TYPE &NETWORTH
