Hi all -

I have been digging through the forums and can't find anything like this problem so far... I'm pretty much a CR n00b.

I have an Oracle file that has records written to it for a single report to be generated.

I'm finding that 1 record contains about 95% of what I need, but 3 or 4 or 5 other, mostly blank, records will also get generated that contain 1 or 2 important fields of data I need as well.

I'm thinking I need to create a variable and somehow loop through the records until I find the mostly blank record that contains the info I need and save it to a variable for print time.

Is this the easiest way to do this or is there another way to easily consolidate information?

Thanks in advance for any help.

if it is all in the same group, you could probably do that, suppressing the details and displaying the results in the group footer...but cr doesn't allow you to just loop through the data in a controlled way. 
 
If you have a middle tier in your app, you can use that to do the looping and build a recordset of what want and pass it to CR...
 
or you could use a stored proc...but since it sounds like you are already getting a file, I would try the middle tier approach first as it will be the most flexible.
