Hi vsud,

When you set up a variable, this is being defined at the Query level of the report, rather than at the tabular level, so vendor-specific functions are not available for you to use.  One option would be to add some data items to your tabular level which call the vendor functions as part of their definition, pass these up to your query, and use these in defining your variable.

Hope that helps,

MF.
Meep!
