Default Value:

Creation Method: Hot Fix Installation

Known limitations: Note that this fix will change the behavior of a report that has multiple subreport instances using the same linked parameter values but a different state of shared variable. The first datasource that matches the linked parameter values is returned; therefore, the shared variable values in the second subreport instance and next may be incorrect. For example:

Main report:

Group1: Country

Group2: Region

Shared variable: Shared NumberVar test := 0;

Subreport:

Link to field "Country" in main report

Shared variable: Shared NumberVar test := test+1;

Insert this subreport to Group2 Region

Before this HotFix is installed:

Group1 Canada

Group2

BC: subreport instance 1 - shared variable value "0"

ON: subreport instance 2 - shared variable value "1"

NS: subreport instance 3 - shared variable value "2"

After this HotFix is installed :

Group1 Canada

Group2

BC: subreport instance 1 - shared variable value "0"

ON: subreport instance 2 - shared variable value "0"

NS: subreport instance 3 - shared variable value "0"
