As far as I can tell, it is not possible.

A possible workaround? Store global variable's value into a database table and let report read it (in the Before Report trigger, for example).

Yes, one method is to store value on database and then check this value in before report trigger.


Other method i am thinking is to pass the GLOBAL.VARIABLE value as report variable. i.e. Menu will call FMX and which will call REP.
Thus every REP will have a calling FMX.
