ON FIELD1 SUBFOOT
"
FIELD2 only has values sometimes .

Is it possible somehow to show the subfoot ONLY when FIELD2 has a value (NOT MISSING)
and otherwise suppress the SUBFOOT so I don't get a blank line ?


thanks /Tomas

Put a WHEN clause after the subfoot

ON FIELD1
SUBFOOT
"<FIELD2"

WHEN FIELD2 NE MISSING ;
SUBFOOT
"MISSING DATA"
WHEN FIELD2 EQ MISSING ;

I put in a couple of conditional subfooting to show the full syntax; you will only need the first.

Sometimes COMPUTES, WHEN clause in stylesheets treat missing as 0 so it might be necessary to define another field MISSFLAG/A1 = IF FIELD2 EQ MISSING THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' ; and NOPRINT it and use that to do the test.

Hey just noticed you have to code carets as amper strings in HTML on this forum. Never had this prob before.
