>>I have a cursor created for a report. The report has 1 group and a report summary band. The report is grouped by business. Each record in the cursor has the number of employees at the business which will be printed only in the group header. How can I total the number of employees for all the business for use in the summary band. ALl the calculation methods I can think of total the employees for each record in the detail band.

I am currently thinking to compute it before the report is called as in

index in business to myindex unique
sum FTE to Tot_FTE
set index to
* call the report etc.

It seems to work OK but I was wondering if it could be done fully with report variables.
