Use CalcTotal to total the numbers within a specified zone for a specified group of lines or within the active grid selection. The calculated result is displayed in the message line.
CalcTotal may also be entered as CalcTot[al] or Tot[al].
The group of lines can be specified by pre-selecting the lines (see Selection) or by using the FCT operand. If neither a pre-selection or FCT operand is provided, the group of lines consists solely of the current line.
Optional Operands
ZONE specifies the zone in which the numbers exist.
Default: current session zone.
FCT specifies the number of lines to process. If FCT is specified as an asterisk (*), all lines starting at the cursor row and proceeding through the end of the session are processed.
Default: 1.
Alternatively, CalcTotal will total the numbers within the active grid selection.
CalcTotal may be invoked without operands by pressing Alt-= (equal sign).
Return Codes
OK Successful.
NU Non-numeric data.
