Answer 1

Hi Rao
For Period (From &To)
1. KE3E
2. Type of Var = Char Value
    Enter variable name, say, ZPERIOD
    Field Name = PERDE
    Replacement type = Entry
    Enter Description
    Parameter/selectop = Selection Option
For Fiscal Year
    Type of Var = Char Value
    Enter variable name, say, ZGJAHR
    Field Name = GJAHR
    Replacement type = Entry
    Enter Description
    Parameter/selectop = Parameter
For Next and Last Fiscal Year
When you define your form in KE34/KE35
Use the variable ZGJAHR in your report
In the column for Next Year, Enter "ZGJAHR+1" as the local variable for GJAHR
In the Column for Last year, Enter  "ZGJAHR-1" as the local variable for GJAHR
