I think it depends if there are items which are NOT taxable at one layer but are taxable at the others.
IF all items are taxable at each layer then Richards routine will work for you. But you need the answer to the first question to make that leap.

You need to adjust where needed for decimals, etc: TAX.AMT.ARR = '' TOT.TAX.PCT = SUM(TAX.PCT.ARR) MAX = DCOUNT(TAX.PCT.ARR<1>,@VM) FOR K = 1 TO MAX TAX.AMT.ARR<1,K> = TOT.TAX * (TAX.PCT.ARR<1,K> / TOT.TAX.PCT) TOT.TAX -= TAX.AMT.ARR<1,K> TOT.TAX.PCT -= TAX.PCT.ARR<1,K> NEXT K The reason this works is the two lines of subtractions. In the last iteration, you are multiplying the remaining tax amount by 1. ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
