Is there a way to get the current column title/name during drilling ?

TYPE=TITLE,
     FOCEXEC=app/proc1.fex(param1=CurrentColumnName),
$


I do not want to repeat the styling for every column. Because I have a lot
of baggage that would get repeated.

i see where you're going...You'ld like one style sheet statement referencing all titles,
nice idea,
but I don't see how you can avoid having a specific drilldown for each column.
i think the closest you can get is to use the generic column reference Cn.

I got it working by using a nasty include. Your idea of 'Cn' sounds interesting.
Can you pass me a pointer to the relevant docs if you have it handy ?
  
TYPE=TITLE,
-SET &pColName='CAR';
     COLUMN=&pColName,
-INCLUDE app/carincl.fex
$
TYPE=TITLE,
-SET &pColName='MODEL';
     COLUMN=&pColName,
-INCLUDE app/carincl.fex
$

The carincl.fex:
     FOCEXEC=app/grbp.fex(        \
             pParam0='&pColName'  \
             pParam1='&pVal1'     \
             pParam2='&pVal2'     \
             pParam3='&pVal3'     \
             pParam4='&pVal4'),

oh, referencing columns can be by absolute field name or by relative field position reference in the report.
B1, B2..Bn is the relative BY field
C1, C2...Cn is the relative object field (gets tricky because computes can add to the relative C numbering,
and N1, N2,... Nn is another way of referencing having to do with counting NOPRINT fields...
The details are all in your manual..pretty standard stuff. Handy for style sheets and for aggregating and computing in the same pass..
SUM UNITS DOLLARS
AND COMPUTE AVPRICE/D12M=C2/C1;
BY SOMEFIELD
SUM UNITS DOLLARS
AND COMPUTE AVPRICE/D12M=C5/C4;
BY SOMEFIELD
BY SOMEOTHERFIELD
btw..your solution is swell.

I see. I remember I used C* or N* or B* at one time. But, anyway, as you said, I could not get "refer" to the value of the column during drilling.
