Report GroupFooter not triggered

sandman

I have a problem with the Purchase Order Report. Right off the bat, this report has been somewhat modified and i do not know by how much.

Here are the data items it has as well as their respective indentation:

Purchase Header

---

<Purchase Header>
-Integer

---

<CopyLoop>
--Integer

---

<PageLoop>
---Purchase Line

---

<Purchase Line>
----Purch. Comment Line--<Purch. Comment Line>
---Purch. Comment Line---<Purch. Comment Line Total
---Tax Detail

---

<Tax Detail>


As for the sections :

>>PageLoop, Header(1)
>>>Purchase Line, Header(1)
>>>Purchase Line, TransHeader(2)
>>>Purchase Line, GroupHeader(3) >>>>> NEW SECTION
>>>Purchase Line, Body(4)
>>>>Purch. Comment Line, Body(1)
>>>Purchase Line, GroupFooter(5) >>>>>NEW SECTION
>>>Purchase Line, TransFooter(6)
>>>Purch. Comment Line Total, Header(1)
>>>Purch. Comment Line Total, Body(2)
>>>Tax Detail, Header(1)
>>>Tax Detail, Body(2)
>>>Tax Detail, Footer(3)
>>>Tax Detail, Footer(4)
>>PageLoop, Footer(2)

The Purchase Line Body section has many data fields and I have created a GroupTotalFields on one of its fields which I’ve placed in the GroupFooter. I don’t really need that field (which I’ve setup for testing purposes) because the GroupFooter is only there to print a horizontal line.

Now, my problem is that the Purchase Line GroupHeader and GroupFooter sections are not showing up when I run the report. Their triggers are not even run when I run it with the debugger.

I’ve read through all the documentation and search everywhere but I can’t find anything that little thing that's probably missing to make it work... ](*,)

Please help!

Do you have any GroupTotalFields specified for the Purchase Line dataitem? That is one of the key properties that controls grouping actions.

Also you need to have the sort on the field you are grouping on
