Restrictions

The figure below shows a group tree. If the source group of the repeating frame were 6, then the field Source could be 1, 3, or 6. If the field has no enclosing repeating frame, the column must be a report-level column, that is, it must be owned by the report.

Example

Assume that you have a report with a data model like the one in the figure. Assume further that G_Dept is the Source for repeating frame R_Dept and G_Emp is the Source for repeating frame R_Emp.

In this example, DEPTNO and DNAME could be the Source for fields in either R_Dept or R_Emp. ENAME and SAL could only be the Source for fields in R_Emp.
