Locating the total income

The Identifier (Trigger3) determines the name of the trigger parameter. The trigger Type is Group. ACIF should create a total income index for each group in the report.

Procedure

To define the trigger:

  1. Select the string Total Income in the report.
    The graphical indexer highlights the string.
  2. Click the Trigger icon on the toolbar to open the Add a Trigger dialog box.
  3. Specify a Record Range.
    The total income value can occur in one of two records, which depend on the number of address lines in a statement.
  4. Click OK to add the trigger and return to the report window.

Example

The Records to Search area determines the records ACIF searches to locate the trigger. The Start value is the first record that can contain the total income value. In the example, the Start value is the number of the record (7, seven) that contains the trigger string value selected in the report. The End value is the last record that ACIF searches for the trigger. In the example, the End value is 8 (eight). The Columns to Search area determines the column of the trigger record where ACIF begins to search for the trigger string value. The graphical indexer displays the starting column number of the string selected in the report. In the sample report, ACIF begins its search in column 31. The Value area contains the trigger string value that ACIF searches for.
