Hi everyone. I have searched and cannot find help on placing totals on report pages. Example, query is for 40 units. Report page breaks at 20. On each page I need the total cost for those 20 units. On each page I have header information, then the detail for the 20 units, then footer information. I am successful in getting the grand total at the end of the report, but need help with page totals. Thanks

This is an example from IBI tech site. 


 TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT RCOST AS 'RETAIL, COST'
-*resets the counter when the page-break # records is reached
COMPUTE CTR/I3 = IF CTR GE &NUM_LINES THEN 1 ELSE CTR + 1;
-*restarts the total when ctr=1 else keeps a running page total
COMPUTE PAGE_TOT = IF CTR EQ 1 THEN RCOST ELSE RCOST + PAGE_TOT;
-*contains the page total
XPGTOT = PAGE_TOT ;
BY COUNTRY BY CAR NOPRINT BY MODEL
-*causes a page-break when the desired number of records are reached
ON MODEL PAGE-BREAK WHEN CTR EQ &NUM_LINES
FOOTING BOTTOM
" "
"This is the subtotal for page <TABPAGENO : <XPGTOT "
END

There isn't such a thing in WF as a page total, per se. What you would need to do is compute a page counter field that would increment after each 20 lines. Then you could page-break and subtotal on that counter field. There was another similar post today about page-break after each 100 lines. There are several example on the forum of creating page/line counters.

That being said, this would indeed be something very useful if IBI could somehow incorporate this functionality as a standard part of the tool. Maybe you could open a new feature request (NFR) with tech support.


Regards,

Darin
