Definition

If a report uses a set variable, the initial screen of the 'Select' function in 'Execute report group' contains an entry field for a set as well as entry fields for values which you can enter instead of a set.

If the indicator is activated, the entry fields for the values appear before the entry field for the set.

Example

A report uses a set variable for the field 'company code'. The following entry fields appear on the initial screen:

Company codes................. ____________
Or value(s)................... ____ ____ __ _

If the indicator is activated, the order in which the fields appear will
change:

Or value(s)................... ____ ____ __ _
Company codes................. ____________

In this case, it is also useful to redefine the standard text 'Or value(s)' and check off the indicator 'Text of set variables with values'. The initial screen would then look as follows:

Company codes................. ____ ____ __ _
Or set........................ ____________
