I think this will work for you to get the records in one query report, but not sure how you can have it break on the each the scenarios you need. You could just do the 2nd and 3rd in one query and sort by the new field called FLD1 and break on that. In the query go to the Define Results Fields and SUBSTR out the 1 char and the first 3 char into new fields as show below (you need to replace the imlitm with you file field name). ============================================================================ ====================== Define Result Fields Type definitions using field names or constants and operators, press Enter. Operators: +, -, *, /, SUBSTR, ||, DATE... Field Expression Column Heading Len Dec FLD1 substr(imlitm,1,1) FLD3 substr(imlitm,1,3) Bottom ============================================================================ ====================== After you get the fields defined you need to go to the Select Records and key the following to get the records you need. ============================================================================ ====================== Select Records Type comparisons, press Enter. Specify OR to start each new group. Tests: EQ, NE, LE, GE, LT, GT, RANGE, LIST, LIKE, IS, ISNOT... AND/OR Field Test Value (Field, Number, 'Characters', or ...) FLD1 NE 'X' AND FLD3 NE 'DSL' OR FLD3 EQ 'DSL' OR FLD1 EQ 'X' Bottom ============================================================================ ====================== I hope this helps you.

I can't figure a way to make it work....maybe it can't Mark Allen I.S.
