I would like to create a "Top 10" report based on a compute field. When I set a recordlimit EQ 10, I don't get the true "Top 10"

Is there something I"m doing wrong?
here is my fex.

TABLE FILE LOGISTICS_TBL
SUM
SUBTOTAL_OF_ORDER/P11BCM AS 'Total,$$$'
STOPS/P11BC AS 'Stops'
BY TOTAL HIGHEST COMPUTE STOPSIZE/D14CBM = SUBTOTAL_OF_ORDER / STOPS;
AS 'Stop,Size'
BY CUST_NUMBER
BY CUST_NAME
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 10


Prod: Single Windows 2008 Server running Webfocus 7.7.03 Reporting server Web server IIS6/Tomcat, AS400 DB2 database.

RECORDLIMIT applies to the selection criteria used to select data for the report.

Jason,

Try using "ranked by". Here's an example using the "CAR" file.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
      RETAIL_COST
	  DEALER_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS DATASUM
END
-*
DEFINE FILE DATASUM
PROFIT/D12.2 = RETAIL_COST-DEALER_COST;
END
-*
TABLE FILE DATASUM
PRINT
      RETAIL_COST
	  DEALER_COST
RANKED BY HIGHEST 3 PROFIT AS 'POTENTIAL PROFIT'
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
END


Your code would be something like this.

TABLE FILE LOGISTICS_TBL
SUM
      SUBTOTAL_OF_ORDER
      STOPS
BY CUST_NUMBER
BY CUST_NAME
ON TABLE HOLD AS DATASUM
END
-*
DEFINE FILE DATASUM
STOPSIZE/D14CBM = SUBTOTAL_OF_ORDER / STOPS;
END
-*
TABLE FILE DATASUM
PRINT
      SUBTOTAL_OF_ORDER/P11BCM AS 'Total,$$$'
      STOPS/P11BC AS 'Stops'
RANKED BY HIGHEST 10 STOPSIZE AS 'Stop,Size'
BY CUST_NUMBER
BY CUST_NAME
END


I'm sure there is a short way to code this, but this is what came to mind first.
