[SOLVED] In a FEX, I've got three fields and I want to be able to print my highest student count by college. However, my counts are not coming out the way I want them, going highest to lowest. What am I doing wrong? Here is my code snippet:

STDCNT  /I06 = IF (STU_ID EQ LAST STU_ID) THEN 0 ELSE 1;      
END                                             -*                                               
TABLE FIOE NLCDIST                                                   
SUM   STDCNT                                                      
      COL                                                          
      TRNS_HIGHSCH                                                 
BY    COL NOPRINT                                                  
BY    HIGHEST STDCNT NOPRINT                                       
BY    TRNS_HIGHSCH NOPRINT                                         
ON TABLE HOLD AS NLCDIST1                                          
END

In reference to my first posting, here is a partial display of what I am currently getting:

NLC 0 SAMUEL CLEMENS HIGH
NLC 0 WAGNER HIGH SCHOOL
SAC 100
SAC 1 A BEKA ACADEMY DVD PROGRAM
SAC 1 A C JONES HIGH SCHOO
SAC 1 A CRAWFORD MOSLEY HI
SAC 1 A&M CONSOLIDATED
SAC 38 ACADEMY OF CREATIVE EDUCATION
SAC 1 ACADEMY OF RICHMOND

So, please not the counts are not in sequence. If anyone has an idea, I'd love to see where I am making my mistakes. Thanks....

You have to put the HIGHEST first in the list. What you have sorts highest within COL.

Hi, Ginny,

And that's what I want.... highest within COL. In short, I am trying to list, within each college, the highest counts of grads from high schools going to that college:
NLC 10 XYZ HIGH SCHOOL
NLC 9 AVC HIGH SCHOOL
NLC 1 MY SCHOOL
SAC 132 QWE HIGH SCHOOL
SAC 79 THE OLD SCHOOL
SAC 78 THE NEW SCHOOL
SAC 6 THE MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL
SAC 0 MIDWEST HIGH SCHOOL

To get that type of result, are you saying I should put the HIGHEST code first? Or am I not doing something correctly?

Thanks so much for replying......

Almost right. To calculate (sum) STDCNT within COLLEGE and TRNS_HIGHSCH, and then rearrange acording to the summed value of STDCNT, change the second BY to BY TOTAL.

TABLE FILE NLCDIST
SUM STDCNT
COL
TRNS_HIGHSCH
BY COL NOPRINT
BY TOTAL HIGHEST STDCNT NOPRINT
BY TRNS_HIGHSCH NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS NLCDIST1
END
