Grouping Formula Issue

Question

Hello,
I am stumped. I have a report that has 3 groupings on it:
Group1
Group2
Group3
In group3 footer I have a formula
global StringVar St;
select {vw_NEW_ITEMS.POS_FLAGS}
    case 1:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = 1 then
            St := St + "A"
        else
    case 2:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = 1 then  
            St := St + "G"
        else   
    case 3:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = 1 then       
            St := St + "N"
        else
    case 4:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = 1 then
            St := St + "S"
        else
    case 5:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = 1 then
            St := St + "T"
        else
    case 6:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = 1 then
            St := St + "V"
        else
This 'should' display
AGNSTV if tax_1 is 1 - for the first record it does.
But, for each new group3, it repeats - e.g.
AGNSTVAGNSTV
AGNSTVAGNSTVAGNSTV
AGNSTVAGNSTVAGNSTVAGNSTV
etc...
I created another formula and placed it in group3 header like this so the attempt was to "reset" my variable "St"
Global StringVar St;
    St := "";
It doesn't work. How can I fix this? I have tried about everything.
Thank you.

Hello,
you can try following two things:-
1)make your reset formula readtime as follows:
       Whiereadingrecords;
       Global StringVar St;
       St := "";
2)change each case from
        case x:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = x then
        St := St + "<character>"
        else
to
        case x:
        if {vw_NEW_ITEMS.TAX_1} = x then
        St + "<character>"
        else
Thanks,
