Appending Multiple Reports

edited March 2003 in General
Hi,

I have a problem with a report I was hoping to get some ideas on how to
solve.

The report consists of:
Header - with variable set at runtime
Detail - with DBText fields attached to JITPipeline
Group Footer - with DBCalc fields for each column
Summary - with DBCalc fields and variables set at runtime

The user currently runs this financial report for a given month. They
are now requesting to run the report for multiple months. The final
report would be like multiple reports tied together. I have
comtemplated populating the array that feeds the JITPipeline with
multiple months worth of data and trying to create a group that breaks
on a month field but I am having trouble getting my head around that.

Can anybody offer any tips on how they have handled this situation?

Thanks,

Dexter

    Sure but you got to promise next time you are in Portland you'll call! (even
    if you want to stay away from my presentation) :-)

    Create a group. Do this by Report/Groups. Select the month field (or
    changes with every month) then click on 'Add'.

    Select which options you want below ( you don't want a custom field right
    now--a JIF field isn't a custom field).

    Done.

    Enjoy.

    I meant JIT field... suffering from hunger

    Hi Ed,

    That is a shame. Travel across country and get within walking distance
    and still didn't meet you! With all the snow back here I wish I was
    back in Portland.

    Thanks for the tip on creating a group. I was thinking that was the way
    to go.

    Dexter
