The syntax for both is,$flex$.value set name- It is used to retrieve the value used in previous value set and generally used in Table type value set$profile$.profile option name- It is used to retrive value for that profile option

Hi,

  $Flex$ is used when we need to return the Flex value contained by any AOL Vlauset or AOL object .

 For Ex .  $Flex$.<Valueset name>  would return the value held by that valueset .

  $profiles$. are used to get the values of environment variables like org_id or mfg_Organization_id etc which are related to the current apps environment.

  Ex.  $profiles$.org_id would return the operating unit which is active at that time for the user.
