Actually, he's got embedded field names in his headings which are sometimes interpreted as HTML tags like
Joe - you need to post your message again and check the "Disable HTML" box in the Options.

You should put your coding and examples between these 
 [code]
[/code] tags.

It will make it better readable.

First person to read a post should be the person who posted.
That way you can check you posted what you intended.

Sorry, I did doze off for a second there. I'm awake now.

My final TABLE request looks like this:
  
DEFINE FILE ORGTEMP
NAME/A88 = EmpLastName || (', ' | EmpFirstName || (', ' | EmpID));
POSN/A9 = POSN || '-' || SUFF;
DATEA/YYMD = HDATE (Date, 'YYMD');
DATEB/HYYMD = HDTTM (DATEA, 8, 'HYYMD');
DATEC/I1 = HPART (DATEB, 'dw', DATEC);
DATED/A3 = DECODE DATEC (1, 'Sun', 2, 'Mon', 3, 'Tue', 4, 'Wed', 5, 'Thu', 6, 'Fri', ELSE 'Sat');
DATEE/HMtD = DATEB;
END
-* 
TABLE FILE ORGTEMP
HEADING
"<NAME "
"<DeptName, <DeptCode "
"<JobTitle , <POSN "
"<PeriodStart - <PeriodEnd "
" "
SUM Hours AS ''
  BY NAME NOPRINT PAGE-BREAK
  BY EarningCode AS 'Earning Code'
  BY HIGHEST 1 JobsSeqno NOPRINT
  BY HIGHEST 1 ApproverSeqNo NOPRINT

  ACROSS DATEE NOPRINT

WHERE DATEA LE CAL_END_DATE
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL

TYPE=REPORT,
GRID=OFF,

This delivers the timesheet portion of my sample, with the hours on appropriate days, but I'm stuck on trying to append the approvals history part. Is this possible?
