I want to do subtotals on department but instead of displaying the dept number
the user would like to see the department description.

ON DEPARTMENT_X SUBTOTAL AS ?????

The other option is to use SUBFOOT.
ON DEP_CODE SUBFOOT
"<DEP_DESC <ST.Field1 <ST.Field2 <ST.Field3"


You will need to do styling to position the items in the footing

Dave,

I did a DECODE because in the CAR file there is no "description" for SEATS...

You probably have a field for the department name. Use that!
