using variables with group as reset type

2003-01-28 06:37

Receiving an error when trying to use the system generated count variable for my group. The group the xml file is showing the group has been created, but the compiler is throwing an error. Below is the error, the xml code for the group, and the java code used to create the group. Any help appreciated.

Thanks
