Thats why I LOVE this list.
Lawrence is right. Had to set a break header for the status line to get
it to evaluate properly
I would probably have never figured that out myself.
Thanks to all who weighed in.

What is "linestatus". If it's a column name, the report does not have
access to the column names. You must create a variable rLineStatus =
(LineStatus) and change your code to:
IF rLineStatus IS NULL THEN
Once, you do that you might possibly have a second problem. I'm not
sure whether the detail line variables will already have been
calculated when the detail BEFORE GENERATE EEP fires. If that does
turn out to be a problem what you need to do is to create an extra
break level on the detail line and move the calculation of the
variable to the new header, keeping your visibility code in the detail
BEFORE GENERATE. That will guarantee that the variable is correctly
calculated.
