Restrictions

5–56
The SUBTOTAL OVER clause can be combined with the PCT OVER clause, causing
ENFORM to print the percentage the subtotal is of the total value of the target-item.
ENFORM does not print the value of each target-item. The percentage values do not
always exactly total 100% due to truncation during division. If you execute the
following query for example, the total percentage values do not equal 100 %:
OPEN employee
LIST BY regnum, empname, salary PCT, SUBTOTAL OVER regnum;
When a numeric target-item with a PCT clause is assigned to a user variable, ENFORM
makes the assignment to the user variable first, before the percentage is calculated.
When the user variable is referenced as a target-item in a LIST statement or as an
element within a target-item of a LIST statement, ENFORM uses the value of the user
variable. When the user variable is referenced in a print list, ENFORM uses the value
of the percentage for the user variable.
Note that you cannot combine the PCT clause with the CUM clause.
