Multiple headings - may have found the answer

["Ackerson, Glenn" <Glenn.Ackerson@UNCO.EDU>]

Hi group,
  I had posted a message earlier about variable sub-headings, but have since
found a posting on the web site that I hope will address my problem. I
noticed a posting regarding the use of the DECLARE-REPORT and FOR-REPORT
clauses. I'll try those first and see if that will handle my need. I just
thought I'd save anyone from sending a response until I tried this approach
out. Thanks!

Regards,
Glenn Ackerson
