Hi all,
I have to print a report with a total at the bottom, but i cannot use TALLY because I have to count only a certain type of records.
I thought about printing a COUNTER field in the detail line, which value is 1 if the record is to be counted, then summing it up in the total line.
The problem is, I shouldn't write that COUNTER on the detail line, but only in the total line.
Is there some way to hide the field?

Thanks in advance!

I found out how to hide the COUNTER.
You have to overwrite it with a blank string, like this:

Use a SUM statement. Items named on the SUM can include fields which do not appear on a LINE statement. Then just use that field in relevant Report Procedure.
