How to change a variable's value outside of it's own expression?

[gustavofarias]

Is it possible to change a variable's value outside of it's own expression?

In other words is it possible to have a variable in the report that is not controlled by the report engine, that one can freely change?

Hello,

Reports variables are special objects build on top of a report expression. They can perform various calculation based on corresponding expression.

So it seems that, it's difficult to  have a variable in the report that is not controlled by the report engine.

Hope this will helpful !!
