The Cache display of globals that suppresses the subscripts is just a formatting choice. It is just how they chose to present them. It doesn't influence how globals work or how FM works.

FM can be made to suppress repeating values in a column through the use of a suffix of ";N" for a field specification in the print template. Look at the print template of the report that you showed here. The fields normally repeat. You have to work to suppress them.

If you look at a global listing in the Cache/VMS environment, you'll notice
that the global array to the left of the "=" sign is listed only once.
Subsequent entries with the same global array are blank to the left of the
"=" sign, with "new" data to the right, like so:

^ABC(1,"ID")=123^124
           =321^421
           =534^543
           ...

This apparently carries over into FileMan reports, like so:

Jones, John     12344     Yes     Vet
               43214     No      Vet

Both entries are for John Jones, but his name is listed only once.

Does anyone know how to make, in this example, "John Jones" appear on each
and every line instead of a blank?  I don't know of any print qualifiers
that cover this.  (Perhaps I should take it up with Intersystems?)  Thanks
in advance.
