Kevin,
I think many parts of Fileman are intuitive to me, but intuition needs to be
trained. It seems to me that I used to find the Fileman report generator
more intutitive than I find it now. I am talking about more than 10 years
ago when I was not using a GUI interface. That was before I was used to
WYSIWYG full screen editors and the like. The Fileman report generator is
powerful, but is not easy.

Yes it is possible. I believe that the lines that look like

What does you sort template look like?

Jim,
Thanks for writing me back. People get offended when I say it, but
Fileman really is NOT intuitive. I read some more about the SORT
TEMPLATE and sure enough that is where it was coming from. I was
using the default value, which asked me: SORT BY// NUMBER.
Why sorting (INPUT) qualifications (which in my mind determine those
records to be passed to the output formating routines) would be
affecting printing (OUTPUT) specifications is beyond me...
So to get rid of that extra line, I had to sort by @NUMBER, not by
NUMBER. Ahhh, so easy once I see it. :-\
I'm not sure if I can put that number back in at the beginning of each
line like I showed in my prior post or not...
Kevin
