Re: Using report variables to calculate subtotals in xml side [repost ]

Hi, again.  For some reason, I guess I should have consulted the 
example code more thoroughly before posting what I posted yesterday.  
Now that I have a better handle of how the schema works, I'd like to 
know what I'm still doing wrong in the following xml code.

I have the following defined as a report break:

	<Breaks>	
		<Break name="break0" newpage="no" headernewpage="no">
			<BreakFields>
				<BreakField value="r.subtotal"/>
			</BreakFields>
			<BreakFooter>
				<Output>
					<Line>
						<literal>Subtotal: </literal>
						<field bold="yes" value="r.subtotal" width="10" align="left" 
col="1"/>
					</Line>
				</Output>
			</BreakFooter>
		</Break>
	</Breaks>

And then within my <Details> tags:

	<FieldDetails>
		<Output>
			<Line bgcolor="iif(r.detailcnt%2,'0xe5e5e5','white')">
				<field value-"field1" width="10" align="left" col="1"/>
				<literal width="1"/>
				<field value-"field2" width="10" align="center" col="2"/>
				<literal width="1"/>
				<field value-"val(field3)" format="'$%.2d'" width="35" align="left" 
col="3"/>
			</Line>

			<HorizontalLine size="4" bgcolor="'white'"/>

			<Variable name="subtotal" value="field3" type="sum" 
resetonbreak="break0"/>
		</Output>
	
	</FieldDetails>



The output produces a "BAD_OPERAND" instead of the intended subtotal 
value.

Thanks in advance for your help,
