• Crystal Reports 2008

1. In Crystal Reports, create a report off any data source.                                                                           
2. Create a formula in whhich you declare a variable and assign a value to it.  ( Variable – Assign Value )

WhilePrintingRecords;

NumberVar test := 777                                                                                                       

3. Create a formula to display the variable. (  Variable - Display  )

WhilePrintingRecords;    

NumberVar test                                                                                                                                          

4. Create a formula with a second variable. ( Variable - Calculation  )     

Whileprintingrecords;     

NumbervVar x:=x+1                                                                                                                    

5. Add 2 extra subsections to the Report Header  section                             
6. Insert the formulas in the following sections:
   • “Variable – Assign Value” in the “Report Header –a” section      
   • “Variable – Display” in the “Report Header – b” section      
   • “Variable – Display” again in the “Report Header – c”, and in the “Report Footer” section  
   • “Variable – Calculation” in the “Page Footer” section  
7. Resize the Report Header A, B and to fill the first page so the Report Header C starts at the next page                                           
8. Preview the report and notice the variable value on page 2 is NULL, and the variable value equal zero in the Report Footer section.

• Variables are reset to zero when the Report Header is larger than a page, and there is a formula with a second variable in the Page Footer section.
