Is there a way to create a basic report embedding several other basic subreports? Based on the nature of the data, by using independent basics subreports would satisfy then nature of this request.
Thanks Tony

What format of report do you require? If it's HTML, then it's very easy. You create your "sub reports" as format HTMTABLE and then imbed them in an HTML page with !IBI.FIL.sub-report-hold-file-name;
The compound report tool should work fine for this type of report. But since your data looks to be the same in all three reports you could try doing a MATCH FILE or MORE.

I have a similar issue with subreports. I have a report that has a detail portion and a grand total. On the original report (crystal), 1 field on the grand totals is a subreport (data from a completely different table). How do I do this in WebFOCUS.
Here's a sample code: TABLE FILE CAR PRINT COUNTRY CAR DEALER_COST RETAIL_COST WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'; ON TABLE SUMMARIZE AS 'TOTAL' END
I would like to get the data for the grand total row for retail_cost(45,319) from another table (value for example could be 45,333). The dealer_cost grand total stays as it is. How do I do it? Do a use an Amper Var?

You could use an amper variable but you'd probably have to put the other file total in a subfoot, not the automatically generated total line. Then use the stylesheet to line them up properly.
