tot() in @wgt

[Richard Kreiss]

Dan,

Another suggestion is to replace tot(nn) with an array to hold the totals
needed.  The at @wgt set the dummy fields to the values in the array
elements.

If:
Then:Dim totals(5)
If:
Then: totals["1"]=totals["1"]+nn	nn is the filed number to be totaled
and is done on each record processed

@wgt:if:
Then:aa=totals["1"];ab=totals["2"]; .............................

I have used this technique especially where is have had to accumulate
different totals for each break especially where some calculations are
necessary.
