export multi vs export ascii

[Dennis Malen]

Is there any way when using "export multi" such as:



export multi exp=(pn) r=1 f=1



to identify which row and column that I would like information placed? 
"Export multi" works when run a report in sequence. As the report runs it 
places the information in the appropriate cell.



For instance I can use plain text "export ascii" command such as:



export ascii exp=/tmp/asciicost2.xls r=\r r=\n -x -a



If I use an export command such as:



exp(5)="C;Y1;X3;K\""&7&"\""&chr("10")



the information is placed in row 1, column 3.



Can I do something similar to that using "export multi"?



Reason: I have no problem when I manipulate where export multi places 
information. What I do need is a recap of totals that I want at the top of 
the spreadsheet. When I get to the end of the report with export multi I 
would like to place the totals I have accumlated somewhere at the 2nd, 3rd 
or 4th rows and in a particular column. When the report is run I have 
already passed those rows.



Can this be done? I can do it with "export ascii" but would like to save 
programming time and not have to define each cell such as 
"C;Y1;X3;K\""&7&"\""&chr("10"). Export multi would do that for me. What I 
need would only reside in two or three cells at the top of the spreadsheet 
but the information (totals) would only be available at the end of the 
report.
