Hi, Certain types of tables specify calculations. For example you might have a table in which the first column is a range of a monetary amount, the second column is a certain tax rate, the third column another tax rate and the fourth yet another tax rate dependent on how the money was earned. an example <tr><td>$100,000 - $150,000</td><td>18%</td><td>22%</td><td>45%</td></tr> assuming reasonable headers and other table structure aside from that example row. Now what I would like is something that allowed one to specify the calculations, separate from the table structure. Something like <calc><input type="range" inttype="currency" format="USD"><start>100000</start><end>150000</end></input><function type="multiply" format="percentile">18</function><function type="multiply" format="percentile">22</function><function type="multiply" format="percentile">45</function></calc> So it should have enough description in it that I can generate a tabular view - such as in the fragment above of the html table, but also enough that I could generate a form for the simple calculations such a table represents. From the examples I've seen of SASOUT it doesn't seem to do this - but from my understanding of how it should work it might be possible to do it but then if it is possible I would have to assume it would extremely verbose and difficult - again given examples I've seen. So I guess what I'm saying if you are going to say that SASOUT does this, I am hoping for something other that SASOUT cause if that was my choice I'd probably roll my own. :( Thanks, Bryan Rasmussen
