Formula confusion

[jnujella]

HI all,

I had a situation where I have use the manual running total
so i create 3 formulas like

1) to initiliaze the variable
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar cnt;
cnt := 0;

2) To increment the variable
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar cnt := cnt + 1;

3) To show the variable
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar cnt;

and then I place the first formula in report header
second formula in details section a
second fornula again in detais section b
third formula in report footer.

now what i expect is like this
RH 0
DA 1
DB 2
RF 2

HOWEVER i get values like this

RH 0
DA 1
DB 1
RF 1

Thanks in advance.

Detail_a and Detail_b are referencing the same record, therefore the count is one. You could change the formula to:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar cnt;
cnt := cnt + 2;

...assuming you are always counting both sections.
