Hi Everyone,

We all know that by default if we enable MERGE=ON in compound layout report will be break down by first common sort order(COUNTRY) from both report request.But what i need is reports should break down by second sort order(BODYTYPE) instead of first sort order.


**Here is sample code**

***report1.fex****

-DEFAULTH &WF_SUMMARY='Summary';
-DEFAULTH &WF_TITLE='WebFOCUS Report';
TABLE FILE ibisamp/car
SUM CAR.BODY.SALES
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET GRWIDTH 1
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT=&WF_TITLE.QUOTEDSTRING, SUMMARY=&WF_SUMMARY.QUOTEDSTRING, $
ENDSTYLE
END

-RUN

***report2.fex***
-DEFAULTH &WF_SUMMARY='Summary';
-DEFAULTH &WF_TITLE='WebFOCUS Report';
TABLE FILE ibisamp/car
SUM CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
BY CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE
BY CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET SQUEEZE ON
ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE=IBFS:/FILE/IBI_HTML_DIR/javaassist/intl/EN/ENIADefault_combine.sty,$
TYPE=REPORT, TITLETEXT=&WF_TITLE.QUOTEDSTRING, SUMMARY=&WF_SUMMARY.QUOTEDSTRING, $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

I need to display records on one after another based on BODYTYPE .

So how do you want it to deal with the first sort (COUNTRY)?

I would like to display the COUNTRY in SUBFOOT and break the report based on second sort filed which is Bodytype.

Hello,
Please give a try with "BY CAR.BODY.BODYTYPE PAGE-BREAK"
