Printing Report Summaries

Summary information consists of the final totals and other data printed at the end of a report. This information is based on the functions specified in the Detail fill‑in. It contains the final totals for all control break groups. These values print whether control breaks were specified to print or were specified at all.

For example, in a previous example, the report contained the function values for each state at the control break level. If there were no control breaks, the function values print as the summary at the end of the report.

You can specify a title and some formatting for summary information as shown in the following screen:

   Spacing before summary             2    (1 thru 9 = Lines,P=New Page)

You can specify the summary information to begin on a line 1 to 9 lines after the last detail line or on a new page. Specify the title in upper and lower case as it should appear on the report.
