Good Morning Cognos Users,
I hope that you and yours remain well. Last month, we upgraded to Cognos version 11.2.1 for the customer. Within reports or dashboards, if you need to store data item values {variables} from one query to be used in other queries and/or rendered multiple places in the report, Cognos now has extension enabled Javascript to generate this functionality. These work similar to global variables in C#. See the attachedment.
If you have any questions, let me know and I can e-mail you the details.
Warm Regards,
Eli
