When to use Place holder columns in Oracle Reports and what
is a place holder column?

Answer Posted / manasa

place holder columns are like global variables in the reports.

Variables declared in the PL/SQL code they cannot be the source of the field. So, if we assign the variables to placeholder columns they can be the source of the field since they are global variables.
