When we have a sub total on a particular field the subtotal appears indicated by the word *TOTAL. How do we suppress the word '*TOTAl'. It is required to display the subtotal as 'subtotal' irrespective of the value of the sort by field.

Hi Code Digger,

Can you please try this:

DEFINE FILE EMPDATA
BLK/A1=' ';
BLK1/A1=' ';
END
TABLE FILE EMPDATA
PRINT SALARY
BY DIV
BY BLK1 AS ''
BY DEPT
BY BLK AS ''
ON BLK SUBTOTAL AS ''
ON BLK1 SUBTOTAL AS ''
-*ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT STANDARD
END


Hope this helps. Big Grin

Cheers,

Kerry

Interestingly, you can change the word TOTAL to something else, but you can't change it to blank:

Works:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL
ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS ''
ON TABLE SUBTOTAL AS '_'
END

Does not work:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL
ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS ''
ON TABLE SUBTOTAL AS ''
END

I would say

 TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL
ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL AS ''
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL AS ''


this would give a report with a total line without any text as far as I know, or is that not what you are up to?

does the trick.

Now why wouldn't
quote:

?

I think that subtotal is not a option with the "on table" phrase.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY MODEL
ON TABLE SUBTOTAL
END
(FOC002) A WORD IS NOT RECOGNIZED: SUBTOTAL

I'm on an old mainframe release 7.11 not to confused with Webfocus. It may be a new feature coming to a future mainframe focus release or worse it could be an "undocumented and unsupported feature" in your release that may go away in a future release that would result in a lot of coding changes. Then it would be called code tightening. I sincerely hope that this is not the case for you as you have it all over the place.

Maybe IBI can say for sure what the case is here.

Can the value of COUNTRY also be suppressed? The totals are obviously belong to the subgroup and is no need to re-display it on the subtotal line( especially it always left-justified makes it impossible to lineup with the actual column).

Thanks,

(Web)Focus will always print the value of the by field when doing a subtotal, as far as I know.
The trick to do what you observed is to have an extra DEFINEd field, called SPACE or something like that, filled with a space. And issuing a BY SPACE NOPRINT immediately following the BY COUNTRY. Then, instead of ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL you say ON SPACE SUBTOTAL.

Then you *may* end up with the subtotal line divided into two lines Frowner

Francis,

This should not divide the Total line into two lines because the DEFINE field SPACE is an A1 which will always be equal to or less than the length of the actual sort field shown, COUNTRY.

GamP,

FYI, I think you know that SPACE is a reserved word in the FOCUS language so that is not a good choice of name for the DEFINE field. Wink I hope all is well with you over there.


Thanks!

Mickey
