    Accumulated Weight

    REPORT = BOLT

    # this to include only field items

    INCLUDE = IE_TYPE=CT_BOLT
    COLUMN =  3: R : PARTID
    COLUMN = 19: R : QUANTITY
    COLUMN =  7: R :
    COLUMN =  7: R :
    COLUMN = 10: A2R : DRY_WEIGHT
    COLUMN = 2: L  : "kg"
    COLUMN =  2:   :
    COLUMN = 60: W : IE_DESCRIPT
    GROUP    = PARTID
    SORT       = PARTID:N
    SEP          = @ 
    SORTHEADERS = 1
    Write =
    END



    In above report definition SIZE1 & SIZE2 of bolts are hidden. Accumulated weight for Bolt are written along with weight unit as “Kg” at a precision of two digit decimal values.
