How to refer to summary items

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day Leonard

How are you producing the subfile?  Quiz or QTP?

In QTP you can create a uniquely named temp item for each summary operation,
eg. 

TEMP tot_elapsed_avg 
TEMP tot_elapsed_min
TEMP tot_elapsed_max
ITEM tot_elapsed_avg = AVERAGE tot_elapsed AT sortkey
ITEM tot_elapsed_min = MINIMUM tot_elapsed AT sortkey
...

Or in Quiz use a DEFINE to create a new item for each operation, e.g.

DEFINE tot_elapsed_avg = tot_elapsed
DEFINE ...

REPORT SUMMARY &
  AVERAGE tot_elapsed_avg ...

This way each item has a unique name that use can refer to when reading the
subfile.

PowerHouse 8.19C on HP3000 (MPE/iX)

I have a subtotal with a bunch of items including three that are summary
operations on the same field: AVERAGE, MINIMUM and MAXIMUM. I can access
the
subfile and print out this data with REPORT ALL.

   Tot            Tot            Tot
Elapsed   Elapsed   Elapsed
(AVERAGE)       (MINIMUM)          (MAXIMUM)

but how would I manipulate them, e.g, in a DEFIINE, in a REPORT GROUP,
etc.?

My ultimate goal is to formate these fields into HH:MM so that the
information
is readable without the user needing to do the math. I can do this, with
DEFINEs
at the item level, but not for the summary level.

Thanks,
