Hi All,
I am creating a Summary report using the Summary option of the Report statement. Below is the code
| Code: |
REPORT SLR858B PRINTER SLR858B SPACE 1 NODATE NOADJUST LINESIZE 132 +
SUMMARY
SEQUENCE WS-DIV-NUM WS-CNFG-REGION WS-SUBDEPT
CONTROL FINAL WS-DIVISION +
WS-CNFG-REGION +
WS-SUB-DEPT
HEADING WS-DIVISION ('DIV' )
HEADING WS-CNFG-REGION ('REG')
HEADING WS-SUB-DEPT ('POS' 'DEPT' )
HEADING ITBL-MOVEMENT-UNITS ('QUANTITY')
HEADING ITBL-XTND-BASE-REIMB ('SI FEED ' )
HEADING ITBL-XTND-UP-CHARGE ('UPCHARGE ')
HEADING WS-ARFEED ('AR FEED ')
LINE 1 WS-DIVISION +
WS-CNFG-REGION +
WS-SUB-DEPT +
ITBL-MOVEMENT-UNITS +
ITBL-XTND-BASE-REIMB +
ITBL-XTND-UP-CHARGE +
WS-ARFEED |
When i execute the code the column "QUANTITY" related to ITBL-MOVEMENT-UNITS is coming empty and the summary data for the other columns are printed correctly.
I checked the input file and there is data for the Quantity column. I initially felt that it could be because of the spacing between the columns and tried increasing the spaces between the columns but even then i am not able to get the data in the quantity column.
The Attributes of the variables are detailed below for reference
| Code: |
ITBL-MOVEMENT-UNITS --> 10 P
ITBL-XTND-BASE-REIMB --> 10 P 2
ITBL-XTND-UP-CHARGE --> 10 P 2
WS-ARFEED --> 10 P 2
|
Appreciate your help in resolving the issue |

akshathan,
I have put your information inside the "code" tags. Just highlight where you want to keep the indenting, hit the Code button above the input box, and the Preview button below to see if it looks OK.
As to your problem, I'll give it to you straight if you promise to check it all out in the manual so you fully understand it for next time.
In Easytrieve, a numeric field with no decimal places is unsigned. For the "default" summing your fields have to be signed, which means they have to have decimal places.
If you have a field with no decimal places that needs decimal places to be signed, then specify the number of decimal places as 0.
Also try to specify with the SUM statement and note the difference.
Look it all up, and undestand it, it will help. |

No worries Peter, just looking for an opportunity to use the word "echo" if necessary, but not :-)
akshathan,
If you look back through the CA forum you'll also see an example of how I like to format the REPORT and stuff, for ease of use. I'm sorry, very rushed for the moment, so can't look up the link. I'm going to be late, and I'm still typ.... |

Peter,
Your One liner made me more clear. Thanks to both of you.
I do have a manual on easytrieve which deals with the basics of reporting. It will be really helpfull if you can provide detailed manual of easytrieve (or a link) so that i can make my homework before posting my questions to the forum. |

If Easytriev is installed, all manuals should be present. If not ask, or let your management ask CA for the missing ones. |

OK, thanks. I usually start of with "quote", so it is then easy to see, and I first code it for myself. Unless I make changes to it, I'll let you moderates catch the actual coding. I appreciate the effort you all put in, so thought to leave it coded since I'd already done it and help out a little :-) |

The Easytrieve material is covered by copyright and we may neither post it nor link to it via our forums.
However - all of the material is available for free if your organization is licensed to use the product. You can download the documentation from CA Support for free. You are required to register, but this too is free and rather painless. |

If you let us know the name of the manual you have, we can say whether there is another one or not.
Often this particular product is let down by the manual, so you could well have the right one. Then you have the situation of having at times to know the answer before you can understand what the manual is telling you the answer is. Not so unusual with manuals, actually, so good learning :-) |
