RE: [Rlib-users] Using report variables to calculate subtotals in xml side [repost ]

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

Okay, so I've placed it in various parts outside the Detail section, but I'm
still getting the BAD_OPERAND error.  

I apologize if this seems such an obvious issue that I really should know,
but I'm a bit at a loss on how to go about this.  The example code or
documentation isn't making it clear enough for me.

It belongs outside of the detail section
