If you declare the variable PUBLIC before calling the report, then the report will use it. In fact, the same is true for PRIVATE variables, only that you have to initialize them before calling the report.

This goes fine if what you want is to get back the values of those variables after the report is finished.

If you want to pass data to the report using a report variable, then its initial value in the report must be its own value! Ie: If your variable is called MyVar, then its initial value must be MyVar. IMHO, this is not the best thing to do and it's error prone and difficult to maintain. Still, it may be the only way to do what you need to do.
