SQL script within my query

Question

I'm in dire need for some help. I'm creating a report in Oracle Reports Builder 10.1 and I'm having some issue with retrieving data with the script I wrote. The report I have is filitered by cont_type = 'SC'. One field that I am trying to get has a cont_type of something other then SC or it is NULL. That field is called revised amount. I want to be able to see the results for the revised amt field (revised_amt) even though i'm filitering them out. Is there a way to do that? The other part to it is that the revised amt field will need to be summarized and reset after each contract #. For example...
Contract #_______Contract Amt_____Revised Amt
1455-001-SC_____1,023,560.00
1455-002________________________56,236.00
1455-003________________________789,653.00
1356-001-SC_____23,563,566.00
1356-002________________________25,666.00
1289-001-SC_____5,222,659.00
1289-002________________________15,456.00
1289-003________________________123,456.00
So for the end result i would like to see the totals of the revised amount for each contract #. It would look something like this
Contract #______Contract Amt______Revised Amt
1455-001-SC_____1,023,560.00______845,889.00
1356-001-SC_____23,563,566.00_____25,666.00
1289-001-SC_____5,222,659.00______138,912.00
I'm new to SQL so please be patient with me. Thanks!
This is my SELECT statement below. Just to clarify, sccont_cont_code's format is 0033-0001. I have to concatenate the '9' onto the beginning of it because the cont_codes have a 9 in front. I apologize in advance for my limited knowledge of SQL and PL/SQL. I am in the process of learning it as we speak. I'm being put into a tough position in my current job and in order for me to succeed I must learn this valuable tool. I appreciate any help for yall and maybe a possible tip here and there. Thanks again!
SELECT '9' || sccont_cont_code, NVL(sccont_cont_amt, '0.00'), fl2030_ven_bp_name, fl2030_job_code, fl2030_job_name, NVL(sccont_hldbk_amt, '0.00'), NVL(sccont_bill_amt, '0.00'), NVL(sccont_paid_amt, '0.00'), sccont_chg_amt
FROM flpm2030_v
,sccont
WHERE fl2030_job_code = sccont_job_code
AND fl2030_comp_code = sccont_comp_code
AND fl2030_chg_code = sccont_chg_code
AND fl2030_ven_code = sccont_ven_code
AND fl2030_comp_code != 'ZZ'
AND fl2030_cont_type LIKE 'SC'
ORDER BY fl2030_ven_bp_name

So for the end result i would like to see the totals of the revised amount for each contract #. It would look something like this
Contract #______Contract Amt______Revised Amt
1455-001-SC_____1,023,560.00______845,889.00
1356-001-SC_____23,563,566.00_____25,666.00
1289-001-SC_____5,222,659.00______138,912.00  Hello,
If you looks for the above result, then you can try with below code
SELECT SUBSTR(CONT_NO,1,4), SUM(CONT_AMT),SUM(REVS_AMT) FROM TBLCONTRACT
GROUP BY SUBSTR(CONT_NO,1,4)and in order to get the main contract number, you can write a function in report, which will accept the first 4 digit of the contract number and return the concatenation string of -001-SC. Hence this function output you can use as the first column value
If my post is helpful mark accordingly.
