[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

> Quiz doesn't put COUNT in subfiles -- syntax-wise it's a "function" not an
> "item".

> Try the following:
> 
> >define kount int*5 = 1
> 
> >report kount subtotal

> A questions for the list that may also fit into the "EASY" category: Why

> the "count" report-item excluded when reporting to a subfile in QUIZ.

> I have the following simple report statement:

> REPORT CAT-NO REPORT-DATE REPORT-BY COUNT

> To the screen or printer, there is no problem -- I see all four columns,
> and my counter fuctions as I want.  But when I set a subfile...
> 
> SET SUBFILE NAME MYREPORTLIST
> 
> ...then the subfile only includes the first three columns.  Why does this
> happen? Any suggestions on how to write COUNT to the subfile (or how to
> produce an equivalent end result)?
