Hi Saifuddin,

Aldough it might be possible to achieve above statement report
applying some frx tips & tricks, on the long run u will be better of
with preprocessing data into temporary cursor suitable for output via frx.

In that tmp cursor this running balance can be PRE-calculated so
all you need to do in frx - is show value.

Since this looks like an ordinary account statement, that means that you might also need to apply some criteria from/to entered by user and then based on their input produce apropriate statement(s).

Common scenario for this is;
FORM is accepting user criteria, then calls procedure processing original table, and inserting results into tmp cursor suitable for reporting.
After that results are easily reported using frx.
