Sort/Selection processing

[John Esak]

There are probably a number of ways to do this. No, @done is for output
tables only. 

I will assume that @ts has no value either on the -v table. Although, who
knows (besides Ken :-) maybe it does. In which case, you could set an
incrmenting counter for every record encoutnerd selected or not and when @ts
equalled this counter, you'd be done with the -v processing.

But I can think of another way pretty quick. Make sure you have an automatic
table. If you don't have one, add one.  ON it set a global variable to tell
you whether to run your totalling/question or not.  If they don't want to
continue with the output part of the process, just EXIT.  Otherwise flip the
variable and let it proceed. Be sure to only do this check once... Which is
the purpose of the global var.... So I'm being redundant.

Automatic processing does not run during sort/select and would only happen
immediately after it's finished on the first record which is about to have
the output process done on it.  So it is esentially just after the -v table.
The values you want to show would have to be shared through the automatic
table... Or declared GLOBAL, since you are now on another table.
