Hi Cetin- I will sum field values in a group of records with the same part number..Here is my code:
select *,sum(jan_doll) as jan_money ,sum(feb_doll) as feb_money,;
from mysales;
order by part_number;
group by part_number;
into cursor mycursor....end of code...I am having a problem. The SUM is not right. Do I have to restart to SUM at the beginning of each group?
