Is there a function in Report Painter that allows you to "Count" the number of lines found in a section and place the value in a subfoot? In Crystal Reports (sorry) there is a pre-existing dragable function called COUNT. I am trying to make this as easy as possible and not have to create a field and compute a total.

If you selected SUM instead of PRINT, you should be able to drop down to CNT for counter in Report Painter.

Seadog,

This "may" give you an idea:

 
SET ASNAMES = ON
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
     CNT.MODEL AS 'MODEL_CNT' 
 BY COUNTRY
PRINT 
     CAR
     MODEL
 BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT 
      CAR
      MODEL
  BY COUNTRY
ON COUNTRY SUBFOOT
"Total Models <MODEL_CNT"
END
-RUN


Hope this helps...

Tom

Seadog,

Report Painter allows you to HOLD data, just like everywhere else in WebFOCUS.

My post above shows an example of counting records and using it in a SUBFOOT, which was your question.

Another way is to count the records, HOLD and do a -READ on the HOLD into an &VARIABLE.

There are many ways to do this, the manual(s) cover quite a lot of them...

Tom

You know in Crystal Reports ALL you have to do is say =COUNT(fieldname) and stick it in the group break and your done. Why is this so complicated in Report Painter. A question for the Product Manager I guess.
