I'm doing a drilldown on an alphanumeric field. In the subtotal all I get is a little dash. Is there a way that I can put "All" in there instead of the dash? I get the same thing in the grand total line. Any help would be appreciated.

Subtotal on an alphanumeric field will give you the last value of the field in that sort group. When drilling down from total lines you need to handle the passed parameters a little differntly. You should probably hardcode the value "All" into the appropriate parameter that is passed when the link is clicked on any total line.
Personal opinion - you're going to get very sporadic result trying to do drill down from a subtotalled alpha field unless you carefully control the parameter values passed.

I've got the drill down working correctly. The data getting passed isn't a problem. My client just doesn't want to see "-". They want to see "All". I'm looking for some sort of way to hardcode the "All" value into the report subtotal/grand total.

The only way to modify 9i.e."hardcode" what you get on a subtotal line is to switch to a SUBFOOT instead of SUBTOTAL - then you have to make sure you get everything aligned properly. You might try to fool it by making the last value ALL or by using a prefix operator with the alpha field after the subtotal like ON byfield SUBTOTAL LST. alphafield

Usually when you subtotal, the alphanumeric fields aren't totaled on the numeric ones. Is this happening on your BY field? If so try a define: STFIELD/A10=IF MYFIELD IS MISSING OR MYFIELD EQ ' ' THEN 'ALL' ELSE MYFIELD; and use STFIELD in your BY rather than MYFIELD.
