Hello M D,

1. You would need to configure a symbol group and assign function modules to it, if no suitable existing symbol group available.

There are two function modules assigned to each symbol group:

The first function module is used for symbol expansion. Use function module  'C12O_PARAMETER_VALUES_SELECT' for symbol expansion.

The second function module is used for default parameter determination of symbol groups. You can copy the existing function module for determining default parameter values for any standard symbol groups and change the copied function module according to your requirement to fill the values for parameter symbol.

2. Then, you configure a new parameter symbol and assign it to the symbol group.

3. Add the parameter symbol in the report template.

4. Development to be done in the function module  for determining default parameter values, assigned to the symbol group, to populate the value for the parameter symbol based on your requirement.

Thanks and Regards,
