DETERMINE; TOTAL
Syntax
Examples
DETERMINE; TOTAL
The DETERMINE; TOTAL command creates a balance by adding together the numeric
values of the specified data items of the selected records. The DETERMINE; TOTAL
command is like a combination of the DETERMINE; EVERY and ADD; commands, except
that a loop is implicit within the command.
The DETERMINE; TOTAL command brings into memory all records on the Profile that
match the specified values. Values of the specified data item are totalled, and the result is
stored in the System Data item GLB.TOTAL.
If the name of a Multiple Ordinate Memo Component is used in place of the Profile with the
DETERMINE; TOTAL command, the Automaint Profile for Memo Component is used.

CRITICALLY LOW (contained in Frame 09). The Profile STOCK, with Ordinate
