    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Scott, I would think that @sbrk1 would
      only execute once at the start of the sub-total break level
      defined for the sort (in the same way as @wbrk1).  That would lead
      me to think that if aa was global, it would hold the value you set
      once in @sbrk1 until the next subtotal break(1) is reached.  <br>

                    Here is what my output processing looks, with sort

                        There are several ways I see to do this.  Here
                        is one method:<br>
                        <br>
                        Sort on the first 4 digits of the client number
                        (ie: "2345", "3194",<br>
                        "5498"), with a subtotal break, followed by the
                        entire 9-digit number.<br>
                          This way, while you break on the 4-digit
                        client number, it will also be<br>
                        sorted by account number.<br>
                        <br>
                        Using @SBRK1, save the first (ie: "lowest")
                        account number for that<br>
                        client, using MID.<br>
                        <br>
                        Within @WBRK1, grab the account number, which
                        will be the "highest"<br>
                        number for that client.  Then, @RS will be the
                        number of records for that<br>
                        account.<br>
                        <br>
                        You now have "# of records" (@RS), "starting
                        acct" (saved in @SBRK1),<br>
                        and "ending acct" (the "current" account number,
                        while in @WBRK1).<br>
