Sorry Martin, I don't think I understand what you're trying to do.

Upon reading your description a second time, it now sounds like you have a
*BEFORE add/update trigger specified with *ALWRPTCHG(*YES), in which you are
trying to add/insert a different sub-total record within the same file. Is
that correct, or way off base?
