Board,

I have been trying this out for sometime now. I want my ezt program to display / write some values to another file just before printing it to a report. This program is pretty complex and i dont want to disturb the otherwise peaceful execution of this program. I just introduced a BEFORE-LINE proc after the last LINE statement of the report with a S type variable and expect it to display the contents. But i dont see any output.

brian,

Did you check the report file ? The display statement will be in the report file.

Kolusu,

Thanks for your reply. Am looking into the report file only. I do not see any trace of the records.

Are there are REPORT options that inhibit the execution of BEFORE-LINE proc ? My report options are SUMMARY SUMCTL DTLCPY.

cheers
Brian

Brian,

Remove the comma in the IF clause and see if it works.

Kolusu,

Just got the hint. The control was creating the problem. I replaced the BEFORE-LINE with a BEFORE-BREAK and the results were as beautiful as the Taj Mahal.

cheers

Ravi,

My report options are coded in such a way to inhibit(or say supress displays) the execution of BEFORE-LINE.

On deeper investigation i found that in my case a BEFORE-LINE and a BEFORE-BREAK perform the same operation and when i replaced the BEFORE-LINE with a BEFORE-BREAK i got the results that i expected.

cheers
Brian
