create a parameters.

ref as:

:parameters.parameter_name

OR

Just store it in block item!

NOTE:

You could use a GLOBAL but it would be over-kill.

By a Block Item I was refering to any non-database data item on an existing data block (or database item on a new block - or any combination there of!).

you can use block (data) items to store anything you wish - not just data from the database. (NB: be warned its not a so good when you have a multi-record block!)

This was just another option to using a PARAMETER or GLOBAL VARIABLE.
