Detail and Totals Sample Output

                                 CA DATAQUERY                                  TOTAL SALES   SLMN-ID  NAME                                YTD-SALES   -------  ------------------------------  -------------   00795    NATIONAL HARRIS CORPORATION         7,950.00   23615    M.A.C. SAVINGS                    236,150.00   34222    CANNON TOOLS CO                 3,322,123.00     TOTAL CITY ATLANTA                                           *3,566,223.00     AVERAGE SALES FOR ATLANTA              1,188,741.00     TOTAL STATE GA                                           *3,566,223.00

Selecting the detail and totals option for your report at execution produces a report containing all output data, including details, calculation results and totals, requested by the query. In the above sample output, detail lines are produced which contain the sales representative's ID (SLMN-ID), the name of the company (NAME) and the year-to-date sales (YTD-SALES) to that company. The query which produced this report specifies CITY and STATE as control break columns. This means a total of year-to-date sales is calculated for each city included in the report, such as in the line identified as TOTAL CITY ATLANTA. Then when the state changes, a sum of all sales from all cities is presented.

Detail Only Sample Output

                                CA DATAQUERY                                 TOTAL SALES   SLMN-ID  NAME                                YTD-SALES   -------  ------------------------------  -------------   00795    NATIONAL HARRIS CORPORATION         7,950.00   23615    M.A.C. SAVINGS                    236,150.00   34222    CANNON TOOLS CO                 3,322,123.00   00655    WEST LIFE INSURANCE                 6,550.00   11400    MALIRY ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY     114,000.00   25155    CHESTERSON-KIDD INC               251,550.00   28655    FOXBORRO PETRO-CHEMICAL           286,550.00   11785    PARKER REPUBLIC CONSOLIDATED      117,850.00

Selecting the detail only option (<PF5> NO-TOTALS on output display) produces a report which suppresses totals, including those produced by control break columns. This report includes calculation results requested by the query, except for totals. The above sample output shows only the detail lines, which includes the sales representative's ID (SLMN-ID), company name (NAME) and the year-to-date sales (YTD-SALES) to that company.

Totals Only Sample Output

                          CA DATAQUERY                           TOTAL SALES   STATE  CITY                 YTD-SALES   -----  ---------------  -------------   GA     ATLANTA          3,566,223.00   GA                      3,566,223.00   MD     BALTIMORE          372,100.00   MD     GERMANTOWN         286,550.00   MD     TOWSON             117,850.00   MD                        776,500.00 * GRAND TOTAL                           4,342,723.00

If you select the totals only option, the report contains only the totals requested by the query. No detail lines are included in this report. The above sample output shows only the totals produced after you execute the query.
