Hi everybody,

Can someone guide me on how to put exceptions while defining the summary item ? In one of my datablock there are certain lines whose "inactive_flag" gets a "Y" value on certain events. I want my summary item to exclude such amounts from summing up.

Please help.

Regards

I can't check it now, but I *think* that you can't do that. Summary item sums them all or none. Therefore, you'd have to write some code in order to achieve desired functionality.

A loop is one option (which would almost certainly work).

Another one (which is simpler to code) is to first POST changes you've made in that (data) block and then simply

SELECT SUM(column) INTO :summary_item FROM your_table WHERE inactive_flag = 'Y' AND <another condition(s) here>

Obviously, if you can't create a WHERE condition which would select data only from records that match the ones displayed in a form, that won't work.
