I want to get the total of the highest 5 balances, so I used

TABLE FILE XXX
SUM
BALANCES
BY HIGHEST 5 BALANCES AS ' ' NOPRINT


But this prints all 5 of the balances. I just want to TOTAL of the 5 highest balances (one row totaling the highest 5 BALANCES on the DB). What am I doing wrong?

If you only want to see the value and not use it later on could do something like this (This will only get top 5 unique values though and any duplicates will not be counted):

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY HIGHEST 5 SALES NOPRINT
ON TABLE SUBFOOT RECOMPUTE
END

If I may put in my 2 cents:
  
TABLE FILE CAR
BY HIGHEST 5 SALES 
ON TABLE HOLD AS SALES  
END
TABLE FILE SALES
SUM SALES
END
