Suppress Control Break Totals

[ScotchRocks]

Can numeric field totalling be suppressed at control break time? I am breaking on an alphanumeric field in my detail line and the numeric fields in the detail line are being summed. They are packed decimal date fields on the file I'm reading and I do not need date fields summed.

If anyone knows the magic EZTrieve command to suppress field totalling at control break time, please let me know. Thanks.

Let us know how you declared the numeric field in your easytrieve program?

Based on your declaration , we can control this.

On my detail line, there is an account number (ACCT-NUM) that I am breaking on along with four date fields that are defined in the file as PIC 9(9) COMP-3. I have CONTROL ACCT-NUM in my report definition.

When I encounter a new account number, I am breaking and listing the TALLY of the number of segments I have read for that account number. It is putting a sum field for each of the four date fields on the TALLY line.

Those date fields are the the sum fields that I want suppressed. I have SUMCTL NONE in my REPORT line but that does not do the trick.

Make sure that non control fields ( ex. date fields in your case) are not defined with decimal part...
