David,

I am capable to display each group subtotal properly, so
the problem is to sum rounded subtotals.

This can be solved by the following code in title or summary
band through fxp file:

select person, round(sum(salary),0) as salary ;
from PAYROLL ;
into cursor subtotal ;
group by 1

select sum(salary) ;
from SUBTOTAL ;
into array SUMMARY

and putting summary[1] in the summary band.

Unfortunately, my report command has while and for clauses also
and I must consider them too for summing!

I have tried the following FOUR attempts but without success:

1. Is it possible to determine the for and while clauses used in
the REPORT command in the fxp file called inside report?
I don't know a way to do it, your approach cannot be used.

2. I'm thinking that there must be some pure mathematical way to
display the sum of rounded subtotals. Mayme some mathematican can
help me? George replies about ceiling but this seems
not to work. I must be possible to use avg(), sum() etc. aggregate
functions to do this?!

3. The other solution may be also sum summary expression only
once in group footer, when group subtotal is already calculated
but not yet moved to other record.

I want to put a field

Expression iif( , round( personsalary,0) )
Calculate sum

into summary band.

However, I don't know what to wrote for
expression? MS KB documents trick for summing groups

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q94/3/43.asp

but is there a way to do it in last record of subtotal footer?

4. Using some Genrepox command or its extension
