Chad,

re: More on-break questions

Use print=always in your on-break clause.

() on-break print=always level=1 after=line-pnt save=$old-cc

Fatima,
I dont fully understand your question but have you tried writing a procedure
that will print what you want, you can then call it after the on-break like
so

begin-select
date on-break after=print-proc
end-select

begin-procedure print-proc
print stuff
end-procedure

More on-break questions

I have a question of my own that Im not sure is possible, when you use
on-break, it breaks at the break field and wont print that field again until
it changes.  Is there any way to keep printing that field and still use the
on-break logic.
eg with an on-break on num1 and skiplines = 1 I get
num1         num2
1               x
                x

2               x
                x

3               x
                x

what I want to get is
num1         num2
1               x
1               x

2               x
2               x

3               x
3               x


Cant seem to find the answer in the book.
Chad.

Hi all

Please help!!
I'm new at this as the following will show:

This is a list of records I need to print, BUT I only need to print the
amount once the date changes.



       ID               Description                          Date
Amount
 <<...>>

group by clauses,
if $ID <> &ID
 Let #ind = x
and on-break command have proven useless.
It's obvious that a total needs to be calculated for records with the same
ID, Description and date.
BUT HOW???

All help in securing my job sincerely appreciated..
