I currently have a report that is similar to:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
'CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST'
'CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST'
BY 'CAR.COMP.CAR'
ACROSS 'CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY'
END

Where it is sorted by model and retail_cost and dealer_cost are side by side.

My question is there a way to have all the retail_cost's by model and then show all dealer_costs by model?

So instead of:
COUNTRY1|COUNTRY1 | COUNTRY2 | COUNTRY2
CAR: RETAIL | DEALER | RETAIL | DEALER

I would like:
COUNTRY1|COUNTRY2| COUNTRY1 | COUNTRY2
CAR: RETAIL | RETAIL | DEALER | DEALER

I'm not sure if my example makes the most sense but my report basically has month instead of country, sales instead of retail and orders instead of dealer.

So instead of having orders and sales side by side by month, they want to see all sales by month then all orders by month.

I got it working, thanks for the help Frank.

I would assume this has to be in the same format for both fields? I need decimals in one and none in the other.

That's possible also

conditional format...
DEFINE FILE CAR
MYFORMAT/A8=DECODE COUNTRY ('ENGLAND' 'P15.2C' 'JAPAN' 'P15.0' ELSE 'P15.2M');
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES/MYFORMAT
....


you have to rebuild this into your last holdfile...

Unfortunately this doesn't work for EXL2K in WF 5.3.2.

Dynamic format for EXL2K does work in 5.3.7 ... 5.3.2 is a bit long in the tooth. The 5.3.7 SP is an easy SP. Look at techsupport to get a sense of the number of fixes you will get for simply applying a SP.
