[CLOSED] A DEFINE FIELD in TITLE
Hi All,

Is there a round about way we can have a DEFINE FIELD as part of the TITLE...

Something of this sort...

 DEFINE FILE CAR
CONTRYNAME/A20 = COUNTRY;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR AS <CONTRYNAME
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
END  


I cant go for Subhead because, My Client wants this Exactly in the TITLE Area. Also While Using SUBHEAD OR HEADING, You can't bring the exact Grid Style as that of TITLE...



I need to fill on the Empty Boxes with DEFINE Field that changes on a BY FIELD.

Confused

Thanks is Advance...

Can't do that, I'm afraid.
Only way is to create as many TABLE's as there are Countries (in this case) and to put it in a compound document...

Hi Gamp,

Thanks for the reply.

Compound Report will be bit complicated to resolve this cosmetic kind of issue.

Also, I need this to be done all 3 formats PDF,EXCEL and HTML.

Am trying so many things... But nothing works out as solution...


Thanks,
