Displaying page total on a page with fixed number of lines

Question

Hi ,
My requirement is to have a fixed number of rows per page (say 20) and to have a page total beneath the table containing the data.I am using a RTF template.The columns in the table are
Order
Amount
Page Total : 3000
For including a page-break after 20 lines, i have added the following code.
For - each ______________
<?if:position() mod 20 =0?> <xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute> <?end if?>
end - for_______________
This limits the no of rows per page to 20.
I have tried 2 ways to display the page total but both don't seem to work Can someone please point what i am missing here?
1) Using add and show-page-total
I added the code (<?add-page-total:at;'Amount'?> to the Amount data column in the template and then used the <?show-page-total:at?> in the page total data column to display the total. But this doesnt work.It doesnt display any value.
2) Using Variables:
I declared a variable (<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'RTotalVar', 0)?>) before the table. Then, i used the (<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'RTotalVar', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'RTotalVar') +Amount)?>) in the Amount data column to calculate the sum. I then used <?if:position() mod 20 =0?> <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'RTotalVar')?><?end if?> in the data column of the page total. But this doesnt work.  The variable loses its value when it is displayed outside the table. Why is it so? How can i declare a global variable? I am not sure why the variable loses it value when taken out of the table. I would want it hold the value through out the document. Is my understanding correct?
Kindly help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Vidhya
