Variable not processed after transport

Question

Hi all,
I have several DS applications. All use an Input ready customer exit variable with a default date value for previous workday. On dev System all is fine and working. After promoting the applications to prod System the variable is populated with the value from dev System, not prod.
I analyzed that it works as designed for applications where the Initial view has not been edited.
For applications where I edited the Initial view the value from dev System is in the prompt. Also other filters depending on the Exit variable are not processed and Keep their filter value from dev.
It is very confusing for the users that in some applications the Default date is yesterday as it should be everywhere and in other applications they get an old date.
How can I tell the application to update all variables when the application is run.?
It behaves like a BEx workbook.
If I run the query on it is own all is fine, of course.
We´re using DS 1.4 SP0 PL1.
Greetings,
Arne

now i've defined them all before the loop and I get this error. Error is following modified code below.
<%
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:testdb");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String sql_count = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users";
ResultSet cn = stmt.executeQuery(sql_count);
cn.first();
int row_count = cn.getInt(1);
int num = (int)(Math.random() * (row_count));
int inum;
int jnum;
ResultSet rs;
for (inum=0; inum<row_count; inum++)
jnum = inum + num;
if (jnum >= row_count) { jnum = 1; }
String sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE ID = "+jnum+"";
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
int ce = rs.getInt("cr_earned");
int cu = rs.getInt("cr_used");
if ((ce-cu) > 0) { inum = row_count + 1; }
rs.first();
String url = rs.getString("url");
con.close();
