What if country has more than one model?

so

country model   cost
usa     honda   5,000
state   population
CA      40.000
VA      30.000


country model   cost
usa     bmw     7,000
state   population
??      ????


Is there an other link between the two tables than only the country code like sales per state??

are you asking how to construct your focus database? with state as a segment under country, a sibling segment, if you're retaining the original car file.
or are you building your own database
with country model cost in segment 1, key on country.
and country state population in its child segment.
Or are you asking how to construct a report?
use the OVER command

I would define a field containing the value "State Population" and use the over command to position the data on the page. I assume you were just using the car file as a for instance and that your data has only one line per 'country'?

If you have the situation where you want to display one record followed by multiple (one car then multiple states) then a subhead on country for the COUNTRY/MODEL/DEALER_COST could be used.

If however you can have multiple records for COUNTRY/MODEL/DEALER_COST followed by multiple records for STATE/POPULATION, then TABLE is not a way forward I have found helpful. In the past I have used 2 different methods, DM and MAINTAIN, probably depending on the mood I am in, but both do the same thing, create an HTML output manually. Get the data, in COUNTRY order, into 2 SAVE files for DM, 2 stacks for MAINTAIN and then loop through. In DM I loop within -HTMLFORM BEGIN/END to read and display the data from both SAVE files, and in MAINTAIN I create a STACK displayed with the HTML object using roughly the same logic as in the DM.

I like using MACGYVER. We do many reports like this:
State Totals
  Area I Totals
    County 1 Totals
    County 2 Totals
    County 3 Totals
    (rest of counties in Area I)
  Area II Totals
    (counties in Area II)
   .
   .
   .
  Area VI Totals
    (counties in Area VI)


MACGYVER works great for this kind of report.
