Totals

When you select this option you are asked if the print out has totals. If you answer *NO, then it is assumed, that the original spooled file has no totals and that no totals should be inserted in the new reformatted spooled file. Below is described what to go through if you select *YES.

The first screen looks like this:

InterForm400 will search for any of the texts you type in. You can tell how many lines before the 'hit', that should be considered to be a part of the total. If e.g. you search for the text 'Total' and there is a '***********' line just above this line, then you should enter '1' in 'total lines starts __ lines before the last occurrence'.
