If you are doing this in the same Fex you just
Table the Hold file:

Table File WhateverHoldfile

and create another report.

If you have Saved it using APP HOLD and you are now in a separate Fex..you will have to put
the location in the APP PATH or Filedef it.

Hope this all makes sense to you.

..you might like the cool MORE command, it enables vertical concatenation:
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
IF COUNTRY NE 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE HOLD AS EUROPE
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE HOLD AS BRITAIN
END
...
TABLE FILE EUROPE
PRINT *
.. any if statements you might want
ON TABLE HOLD AS UNITED
MORE
FILE BRITAIN
.. any if statements you might want
END
..now the file EUROPE has included records
..the file BRITAIN has excluded records
..and the file UNITED has both bits back together.
..get the idea? any help?
