I have a shared variable(e.g., $order total) which passes from a subreport group subtotal linked to the corresponding field (order number) in the main report. Some of the orders in the main report do not have a corresponding value in the subreport. If an order doesn’t exist in the subreport, the previous existing $order total from the sub report incorrectly gets used in that order’s calcs until the next subreport order number comes up. I’ve tried to vary the location of the passed variable in the main report. What is the syntax to reset the variable to zero after each order number but still grab the calc from the next order in the subreport?

Here’s the syntax I used to reset the variable:
shared numbervar Y:=0;

This causes the value to stay at 0 and not pass the correct value for other calculations.

Hurray!

This solves the issue, wich I have been looking high and low for an answer to. This was the trick needed.

An addition: You also have to turn off “can grow” on the first tab of format on subreport to finally hide the section.

Thank you Jade1977!
