GRND TOT 6400

Hi Ramesh,

I could not see any requirment. Can you check.

the input does not contain the total for each currency and the grand total
but I would never trust a financial organization which sums up in a grand total different currencies

Hi Nik,

I have to insert Currency total and Grand total like

Currency total, OK. As enrico has already pointed out, prior to you posting this, the Grand total is nuts. You can't "add" currencies in their own value, only in a currency-equivalent (like a "base" currency) value.

most probably is just an exercise with poorly chosen descriptions

usually the stuff with subtotals and grand totals are done using
locations, departments, managers, employees

Hi Enrico,


Its not an exercise it is a requirement whic i got in my Project.

enrico, I'll see your and raise you

ramesh,

Go back to the person who gave you the requirment and ask them how they would like to describe the "Grand" total.

I'd suggest "Useless figure which might be very big, or very small, but likely somewhere in the middle, in actual value depending on the currencies in the sub-totals above - sorry, add them up yourself if you are interested in the answer, here's mine" 1920.

Either do it in a "base" currency, or ditch it. It is absurd.

Hi Ramesh,

I was toying with the idea but, could not think of a very neat idea. The only approach which comes to my mind is that you can split the input file into several files on the basis of currency, sum them separately, put the currency total as trailer in each file in the desired format & finally merge all the files.

I agree with Enrico & Billy that adding two different currencies does not make any sense,but,still if you want to do it, you can do that by just copying the Currency totals in a temp file & then performing addition on it separately. Clubbing can then be done at the end.

I know,it is a very clumsy approach & I really hope somebody should be able to propose a better approach.
