I am having a problem reinitializing a DEFINEd field to zero
on a sort break. The DEFINEd field is a running total for
each line of the report. I have tried to COMPUTE the running
total on the sort break, but it still keeps accumulating
throughout the entire report. Is there any way to reinitialize
fields on sort breaks?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Without seeing the code I'm not exactly sure what you are trying
to do; If its just subtotals you need then ofcause
ON sortfield SUBFOOT "<ST.field"
however it sounds more like you need the LAST function in a COMPUTE
COMPUTE field = IF LAST sortfield NE sortfield THEN 0 ELSE
whatever...... ;
Every time the sortfield changes value the 'field' is set to 0
