I added the "$" in this email message only. The report spans many pages with phenomenon occuring on every page. To rehash : the end of every page looks something like:
FUGPL971RL/EDEROV SYSTEM RACK 2515A00
FUGPL971RL/EDEROV SYSTEM RACK 2515A00
FUGPL971RL/EDEROV SYSTEM RACK 2515A00
/EDEROV SYSTEM RACK 2515A00
of course the data itself varies in every line.
