running count etc

[jenniemd]

I would appreciate any help with this one...i am trying to print "bundle tags" for an upcoming mailing.....I have the carrier routes and the total number in each carrier route in a database file...and then a formula that calculates how many bundles will be in each carrier route...So assuming that Carrier route 003 has 195 addresses we would need 12 bundles....what i want the tags to say c003(carrier route number) 1 of 12, 2 of 12,3 of 12 etc. I would print them out in a label format so each bundle can be marked......
can anyone tell me how i might accomplish this...remember i do not have individial records for each carrier route ..just the total number of bundles needed....HELP....

jenniemd,
This is kind of tedious, but it might work for you.
If you know the maximum number of bundles any carrier will have, divide your detail section into that many subsections. For example, if no carrier will have more than 12 bundles, create detail sections a through l, then conditionally suppress sections b through l depending in the number of bundles a carrier will have.

example for suppressing section c
NumOfBundles < 3

example for suppressing section d
NumOfBundles < 4

etc.

Hope this helps.
