Note that some aggregate functions are available within the SELECT command select
list for grouped values. There are no user or target aggregates. Although SQLCI and
the report writer do not directly provide the capability of multilevel group aggregates or
conditional aggregates, you can perform these operations using multistep queries. For
more information on examples of performing these operations in SQLCI, see
Developing Multistep Queries
on page 3-32.
In SQLCI, user-defined parameters are not allowed in report formatting commands.
