[SOLVED] subtotal on an alphanumeric field

Hello,

I have an alphanumeric field which is A20. The field only has numbers.
I want to subtotal on the alphanumeric field.
When I try to convert the alphanumeric to decimal using ATODBL, the maximum limit is 15 which is not serving my purpose.
I have set SET SUMMARYLINES = NEW and tried SUBTOTAL, RECOMPUTE and SUMMARIZE, but it always gives the latest value.

Can somebody suggest a way to do a subtotal on alphanumeric fields?


Thanks

COLUMN1/A20 = '12345678901234567890';
COLUMN2/P20 = EDIT(COLUMN1);

OR

COLUMN2/I20S = EDIT(COLUMN1);

Hello Tom,

I tried what you told but it is not working.
The following is my define.
alpha_amt_sold/A20=FTOA(LL_AMT_SOLD, '(D20.2)', alpha_amt_sold);
equivsold/A20=IF type EQ 'Forward' THEN '' ELSE alpha_amt_sold;

I am converting the LL_AMT_SOLD (originally D20.2) to alpha so that I can use the second define.
Now I have to subtotal on the field "equivsold" which is an A20 now.
When I use the EDIT function, it is giving me a zero.

Thanks

You still bring the LL_AMT_SOLD column in:
 
TABLE FILE XXX
SUM
  COMPUTE X_AMT/D20.2 = IF type EQ 'Forward' THEN 0 ELSE LL_AMT_SOLD; NOPRINT
BY MAIN_SORT_COLUMN
PRINT
 equivsold
BY MAIN_SORT_COLUMN
ON MAIN_SORT_COLUMN SUBFOOT
" <+0><ST.X_AMT "
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=SUBFOOT, STYLE=BOLD, HEADALIGN=BODY,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-EXIT

Can something like this be used:


TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM
    COMPUTE DD/P20 MISSING ON = IF SALES LT 30000 THEN MISSING ELSE SALES;
    BY COUNTRY
    BY CAR
  ON TABLE SET NODATA Forward
  ON TABLE SUBTOTAL
END
