whats the diff between break and section ..

Answer / nameer

Sections: It is used to create Master/Detail report.
Ex: If you are appying section on particular column of a
table, each value of that column would form the master
table followed by the remaining column as detail table
related to that particular master value.
break:It is also used to break a single table into
different subset of tables based on a single column in
which we are applying break.So here the difference is that
the column value in which we applied the break also will
be included in the broken tables.

I need to select the rows based on the latest 'Payment_due_date' column value. Let's say I have a Deski report with 3 columns: Payment_due_date, Cust_Name, Oustanding_Amt. Report is like this: ===================================== Payment_due_date,Cust_Name,Oustanding_Amt 02/28/11 , Bob, 115 03/31/11 , Bob, 90 02/28/11 , Mike, 120 02/28/11 , Susan, 220 05/31/11 , Bob, 80, 03/31/11 , Susan, 70 05/31/11 , Mike, 220 05/31/11 , Susan, 120 04/30/11 , Susan, 130 So,we would like to see (based on latest Payment_due_date) ================== 05/31/11 , Bob, 80, 05/31/11 , Mike, 220 05/31/11 , Susan, 120 Oustanding_Amt comes as SUM(Oustanding_Amt) from Universe. If we use Max(Payment_due_date),we do get one row but then, the column 'Oustanding_Amt' sums up. Not allowed to use do SQL Override .Context Operators aren't working. Thanks in advance:)
