Report Painter : Value not collapsing

Question

Hello Friends,
I have an issue with report painter.  In the report group ( GRR1 ), I have I have defined an element as total, and have set the final field as "explode".  But when I execute the report the said heading does not have any '+' symbol and neither does it expand ( ie explode ).
Appreciate a quick response.

Answer 1

To collapse a row, proceed as follows.
1. Call the report you've created in change mode using t.code: GRR2 or GR32
2. Next select the row you want to collapse
3. Click on Formatting on the menu bar and then click on collapse to
4. In the pop-up screen, select the level you want to collapse to.  Normally, I use 02 -Asterisk Level
The above should resolve the issue with collapse.
Next, to be able to explode an account, such an account must be defined as a set.  Meaning you have different accounts under a set. For example: You may have accounts: 30003, 40000, 50000, 575757, 434343, under a set called OPERATINGEXP.  It is this set that you would explode.  You cannot explode an individual account number.
Hope the above explanation gives you an idea as to how to proceed
