I want to do this for a report to show records that have 0 to many history records, all in one report, NOT as a drilldown. Can anyone help?

depends on the quantity and type of data. you haven't included any of that so I can only generalize--

One way that we do this is to put all of the fields for each "master" record in a subhead with a BY on a unique field for each record. Then printing the "detail" fields pertaining to that "master" record under each record. You can also accomplish something similar with FOLD-LINE but the GUI didn't handle this very well several versions back when i was playing with it and so I never did anything with it in GUI then. We have several using this technique as well that have been hand-written. Maybe it's handled better now in the GUI.

Darin

Prarie, I did some research on compound reports, not sure if that would help me out.

Darin Lee, I tried FOLD-LINE, but that seems to only be for PDF. I also tried SUBHEAD, but I want the master record to have column headings, and be in distinct columns so it can be exported to Excel.

The data I am working with has monetary transaction records, and there could be one or more comments attached to each record, typically 2 comments at least.

So...

12345 11/26/2007 25.00

Can't you just stick the Master data in a SUBHEAD and make the detail records the rows of the report?

When you analyze the question, this is just basic FOCUS. You have a file with a parent records (master) and child records (detail). You don't say what the data source is, but it should be irrelevant if you have properly described the data in your .mas file. Consider the following master. Now this is a flat file, but you can do the same thing with a FOCUS data base or relational tables. HREC is the Header and is identified with 'H' in column 1. DREC is the Detail and identified with 'D' in column 1. This master has the relationship you described. For every header, there can be 0 to many detail rows.

Your basic fex will look something like this:
TABLE FILE FMFCEXT
PRINT CLIENT_SSN TOTAL_DAYS PAY_RATE CLAIM_AMT
   BY RSRC_ID NOPRPINT
   BY CHECK_SEQ NOPRINT NOSPLIT
   ON CHECK_SEQ SUBHEAD
"<RSRC_NAME>"
"<ADDRESS>"
"<CITY <STATE>  <ZIP></1>"
   ON TABLE SET ALL ON
END

Once this is working, then you can add other fields, formatting, etc.

I understand what you are saying jgelona, but I still have the issue I mentioned above about the report not fitting into columns.

Are your comments too wide? Is that the problem?
