Appending Multiple Reports
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

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

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.
