Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for UNIX

Summarizing a non-numeric field

When you mark character, date, or logical fields as summary fields, the system counts them. For example, since there are two customers in Florida, Results places a 2 in the Name field.

Mark the non-numeric fields you want to summarize with an asterisk (*) using the Totals Only Report option and press GO.

When a field is non-numeric, it cannot be added to another field. Instead, Results counts them.
