I am having a problem displaying only certain lines in my report. I only want to look at the information on lines 50, 51, 52 and 53 that begins with certain criteria.I have no idea how to just display those 4 lines. Any help is appreciated.

What is the Criteria? When you say Begins...like a string of characters?

Yes I agree with Francis...will they always be on those lines? There has to be something else that makes them different...and you need to screen on that also.

Once you limit the report to the data on lines 50-54, they're no longer on lines 50-54 - they're lines 1-5. If you know the exact LOCATION (as opposed to slecting on values of those records) you could do something like this.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY MODEL
COMPUTE COUNTER/I2=COUNTER + 1;
BY COUNTRY
WHERE TOTAL COUNTER FROM 5 TO 9;
END

I think Darin's suggestion is the way to go, the lines can always be parameterised, and determined prior to the TABLE FILE, assuming the range of lines can be determined.
