If the value is not dependent on the parameters entered by the user then you can have it a user parameter not displayed in the parameter form.

Alternatively, you can also use a placeholder column to achieve the same. You can place it outside of any group.

hello to everybody

has somebody ever had the problem of accessing a variable in reports - need one that i can store a value on, retrieve a value from, that is accessible globally and can be displayed in the body part, regardless of frequency of group by's ecc. - something like a user parameter but without the "ugly" side effect of appearing every time the report is invoked.
