best way to summarize ??

rbuser

Hi, we have a complex report which consists of 2 sections.

The first section contains records which are "not counted" or "counted per
country". Each record uses one of a few (up to 50) calculation rules.

Generation of this first section is not a problem.

The second section, is a recap of the first section. Data must be printed
per country, per calculation rule.
Due to the size of the database, multiuser-characteristics (changing data
!), and the required precision (it's about money, (sub) totals of these
values must be identical ! we think that we need to use arrays.

What is the best way to build such a report using Report Builder. Any
examples that could give us a hint ?

Thanks in advance

Andre.

per record Each counted record has its own calculation rules


The second section, contains a recap

RAP demo 36 inthe RBuilder\Demos\RAP\Main project contains one example of
storing information in a TStringList and then printing it out in a summary
band.

Other options might be to use a JITPipeline or perhaps an in memory dataset.
I think ClientDataSet can used to do this. Or you could use a product like
kbmMemTable.
