I am trying to pass a field from sub report
When I use this, it return 0.00
WhilePrintingRecords;
SHARED numbervar A := tonumber({PMCONO.VALUE});
When I use this, it gave me an error
"a variable cannot be redeclared with a different type"
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared stringVar A:={PMCONO.VALUE};
It is an optional field from ERP and it is supposed to be a date. I will need to use this date to calculate summary
Thanks

When you use a shared or global variable, it must be declared as the same data type in all places.
I do not understand why you have declared as a number in one place and a string in another place, but you say it is a date. FYI: For most databases, a date is really a number internally.

I am trying to pass it from sub to main report but no success.
numbervar returns 0.00 which should be 12/01/2016
StringVar and DateVar returns "a variable cannot be redeclared with a different type"
How am I able to pass it to main report?

First off, so that you can get the value to show in the sub-report. Either remove the shared variable from the main report or created a new shared variable (for testing purposes) that is a datevar datatype and see if you can assign the database field to that variable. If that works, then change the datatype of the variable to the datevar. Otherwise, keep trying other datatypes until you can get it work (I do not know why it would not work as datevar, but then I do not now your database).
