Hey Everyone,

I've been trying for 2 days to get a report to work, and I hope someone here can help me out.

I need to dense data in a report. I'm using the nodata, and it works fine for the first set of data, but when I add another by field, it only denses the first by field.

What I need to end up with is something like this.

country bodytype car
england convertible jaguar
sedan jaguar
hardtop triumph
coupe NONE
roadster NONE
france convertible NONE
sedan peugeot
hardtop NONE
coupe NONE
roadster NONE

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Will this do what you require:

SET NODATA=NONE
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR
SALES NOPRINT
BY COUNTRY
BY BODYTYPE
ROWS 'CONVERTIBLE' OVER 'HARDTOP' OVER 'SEDAN' OVER 'ROADSTER'
BY CAR NOPRINT
END

That code worked great. One last question. Can anyone think of a way to make the rows dynamic? My data changes too much for me to hard the rows.

I wish I had come here two days ago.

Hi Raini,

The following code should do it for you Smiler

SET NODATA=NONE
SET HOLDLIST = PRINTONLY
TABLE FILE CAR
BY BODYTYPE
ON TABLE SAVE AS BODYTYPES FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-SET &Rows = 'ROWS ';
-READ BODYTYPES, NOCLOSE &Bodytype
-REPEAT Read_It WHILE (&IORETURN EQ 0);
-SET &Rows = &Rows | '''&Bodytype.EVAL''';
-READ BODYTYPES, NOCLOSE &Bodytype
-SET &Rows = IF &IORETURN EQ 0 THEN &Rows | ' OVER ' ELSE &Rows;
-Read_It
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM CAR
BY COUNTRY
BY BODYTYPE
&Rows
BY CAR NOPRINT
END
-EXIT

'NOCLOSE' is a new one for me. I'm on 5.2.3 in a windows nt environmen. I don't think NOCLOSE works for me.

Other than that, I think the code is brilliant.

Hi Raini,

NOCLOSE is an option on a -READ statement that keeps the file open and the row pointers intact and has been around for a few years now.

It should function with 5.2.3 OK.

You're right. There is something going on with my data. I have to do a match to get the list, and somethere weird is happening after that.

Thanks so much!!!
