Use this program to define non-standard runtime replacement variables needed for FACTS Report Formatter processing
Runtime replacements are data elements that may change depending on when the report is run. For instance, if you run a report and want to save it to disk, you may always want the filename to consist of the program name and the date (for example: ICR71004012004.txt). You can define your output option to contain "Program Name"+"Date" and the filename will be created uniquely each time you run the report.
Some common runtime replacements come with standard FACTS (company number, company name, time, user code, etc.). However, a technical person can define new ones if you have a need that is not met by the standard runtime replacements.
