SAVEROW automatically stores the data associated with rowMbr, and this data can be referenced by any CALC ROW, CALC COLUMN, PRINTROW command, or any other that can reference a calculated row.

When the command is used, the calculation operator for that command is set to OFF, so that its contents are not affected unless the user explicitly turns the operator back on. SAVEROW captures the data, but suppresses its output.

Syntax

{ SAVEROW ["newRowCalcName"] } rowMbr !

Parameters

newRowCalcName

Optional. Name, enclosed in quotation marks, for the data row created by the SAVEROW command. The name can be multi-part, separated by a tilde (~), as in the CALCULATE ROW and CALCULATE COLUMN syntax.

rowMbr

Default row member used to determine the row name for the calculated data row.

rowMbr is the next member encountered after the { SAVEROW } command, so other intervening { } format commands or non-member-selecting < commands are allowed and do not affect which member is saved.

Notes

There is no conflict with a member and a calculated row having the same name. They are separate entities even though they have the same name.

Example

The following report script example is based on Demo Basic.

{TEXT 18 "Expenses as % of Sales for January"} 
Jan Boston Audio

      Actual Budget

{SAVEROW} Sales !
{CALCULATE COLUMN " Actual%" = 1 % "Sales" 1  
 CALCULATE COLUMN "Budget%" = 2 % "Sales" 2}
COGS  Misc
Payroll
Marketing 
Sales
     !
         

The above report script produces the following report:

                   Expenses as % of Sales for January

                           Jan Boston Audio 
                   Actual   Budget  Actual%  Budget%
