modifying the data fetched, for basing the values of a
parameter on the other parameter and also fetching the
Profile Option values.
To segregate this based on the functionality
-->$FLEX$: Used for basing the value of a parameter on
another parameter.
-->$PROFILES$: used for fetching the data stored in the
specified profile option value which is currently active.

Concurrent Program and are used at the Where Clause window
in the value set ofTable type.

assigned and saved on a different parameter.
:$PROFILES$.Profile_option_name
Important:
• $PROFILES$ must be always in capitals.
• ‘:’ must always precede the declaration.
