Whenever we compute sum on any report,it will automatically generate a "***" symbol before that line.

I want to remove that "*****" symbol.

Can you please help out on this

Does the sum appear or the asterisk only?

Hi Satya,

You please send your .rdf file as an attachment. The problem may be because you are taking the width of the field is smaller than it should be.

other reason could be that '*****' is placed by you in the layout editor.

Anyway send the rdf .

Bye

If only asterisks appear, then just adjust the width.

Thanks all for your comment.

Actually I am generating the file by spooling a .csv file.

The query is like this

"
break on EMPNO duplicate skip 1
compute sum LABEL 'TOTAL' of TOTAL on EMPNO
spool C:\test.csv
select 'NAME','EMPNO','PROD','DATE','SOLD' from DUAL;
select name
|| ',' ||empno
|| ',' ||prod
,trunc(insert_timestamp) "DATE"
,count(*) "TOTAL"
from EMP
group by name,prod,trunc(insert_timestamp)
order by EMPNO;;
"

Here the SOLD field is as the Employee selling some product in one particular date,so for each employee whouse EMPNO is uniqe has a TOTAL at last.

The output is like

NAME EMPNO PROD DATE SAL
AAA 111 A1 01-OCT-2006 100
AAA 111 A1 02-OCT-2006 100
***************
TOTAL 200

BBB 222 B2 01-OCT-2006 100
BBB 222 B2 02-OCT-2006 100
BBB 222 B2 03-OCT-2006 100
***************
TOTAL 300

Now in the report,just before the TOTAL row,there is one extra row where the '******* 'symbol is coming automatically.

I wanted to remove that particular row.

Could you please help in this problem

Hi satya,

In your output one field SAL is soming but you have not used it in select statement?

So check this one ??? and as far as * are coming use count(sal) instead of count(*) i think it will solve thge problem.

Bye

Sorry for the mistake.

Its actually TOTAL,not SAL.

I am counting the total product sold on the basis of each employee and finding out the total.

for that only I used
"compute sum LABEL 'TOTAL' of TOTAL on EMPNO"

there is no field with sal.so i cant use count(sal).

hi
if the sum is shown as '***' then
set the font lower
or
increase the field width
or
try to round the amount if it is in points
