the boolean and language variables get values from the reportnet itself. Boolean would be either yes or no and for language the langauage values u have choosen. but for string u have to add values manually in the variables. for eg..

if(A>20)
then 'Y'
else 'N'

this condn when given with boolean would result in yes or no values in variables automatically. but when the same condn is given in a string variable u have add the values (Y and N) manually in the list of values in variables.
