concatenate string in crystal report

I have a variable dItemDesc defined in the Group Footer:



whilereadingrecords;
stringvar DispItemDesc;
DispItemDesc := DispItemDesc + "> " + {Command.ItemDesc}


The display for the first record is correct, but following records just continue to concatenate the string. Where / how would I reset the variable to blank?

          • No need for 'shared' designation for the variable. Shared designation is needed only when subreports are involved.
