Pass-through of a numbervar used in main report error

[EMSI9988]

The formula in the sub-report is as follows
shared numbervar STD;
STD:= {ICILOC.STDCOST};

The main report formula @SharedSTD
shared numbervar STD;
This formula is in the Detail line
the information is correct appearing on the detail line.

the subreport is in GH1 line.

When i go to use the formula @SharedSTD in another formula @COST in the Detail line
if {OEINVD.UNITCOST} <= 0 then {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED} * {@sharedSTD} else {OEINVD.UNITCOST} * {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED}

As soon as I try to run the report I get the following error:
A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field
DetailsCOST

Any thoughts ont he error would be greatly appreciated.

You have to precede all shared var formula with

whileprintingrecords;

Also I would declare the var in @cost rather tan refering to a formula

@COST
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar STD;

if {OEINVD.UNITCOST} <= 0 then {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED} * STD else {OEINVD.UNITCOST} * {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED}

Ian,

thanks for the reply. I followed your instructions and I'm still getting the same error when I try to execute the report
Error:
A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field
DetailsCOST

Are you trying to summarise @Cost?

If so you can not do this, you will need another Variable

@COST
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar STD;
global numbervar totalcost;

if {OEINVD.UNITCOST} <= 0 then {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED} * STD else {OEINVD.UNITCOST} * {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED}

if {OEINVD.UNITCOST} <= 0 then totalcost:= totalcost+{OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED} * STD else totalcost:= totalcost+{OEINVD.UNITCOST} * {OEINVD.QTYSHIPPED};

Where you are using your @cost summary use

@display TotalCost
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar totalcost;
