(At least I don't with I-OL 4.1 I4gl 4.1.) With thanks for the reply -> What I found was if the global variable was just used for printing in the -> report this statement is true. BUT.... if the report used the passed global -> variable in a group by clause ( sort ) it had to be passed to the report. -> This meant it still had to have multiple reports if I wanted the same info -> but grouped by different attributes. As Result multiple reports. -> -> The reports were written under I-OL 4.0 I4gl 4.0 if this has changed please -> respond back. -> -> I still also would like to know why I can't put the output section in a -> IF THEN clause. If I could do that then those other duplicate reports -> could be nuked. So because of the report functionality of I4gl I must create -> and maintain at least two times the number of reports required. -> -> Idealy this could be acomplished with one report function instead of three. -> But who I am I to complain....... -> -> Is any of this changed under 4.1 or above ????? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mail Path: jerry@jerry.mendota.ingr.com Jerry Jugovich Phone: 612 681-4450 TIM Application Engineer Intergraph Corporation Mendota Heights Minnesota +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
