Formatting based on the value of a variable in the previous row

When I'm building the current row, I want to blank out certain fields if one of the fields on the current row is the same as the corresponding field on the previous row.

I'm and old COBOL programmer; in that venerable language, I would create a variable, initialize it to spaces and then check it when I'm building the current row. If it is the same as the variable, I can blank out the required fields and load the variable with the value from the current row.

I think I need to do something similar to that in Actuate, but I'm not certain which method(s) I need to override and I don't know the syntax I need to use.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
