I have a database that has Countries within Divisions and categorized by
work areas.

What I want to do is get a SUM(AMOUNT) in each of the work areas 1-9 and
then group the by Division.

REPORT SHOULD LIKE LIKE

                                    WORK1    WORK2    WORK3    WORK4
TOTAL
DIV1
   COUNTRY1                10                10            10
10            40
   COUNTRY2                20                10            20
40            90
    TOTAL                        30                20            30
50         130

DIV2
   COUNTRY3                30                10            10
20            70
   COUNTRY4                20                20            20
40          100
    TOTAL                        50                30            30
60          170


SOMETHING LIKE:

SELECT SUM(I.AMOUNT) FROM INPUT I
    WHERE DIVISION = 1 AND COUNTRY = 1 AND WORK = 1

would get me the first number, but is there any way to get a single
statement to get all of the numbers?

I know in the report program I can group by division?  So that is un
important.  My result coult look like a database like this

DIVISION=DIVISON
COUNTRY=COUNTRY
SUM_01=SUM(AMOUNT) FOR WORK = 1
SUM_02=SUM(AMOUNT) FOR WORK = 2
SUM_03=SUM(AMOUNT) FOR WORK = 3
SUM_04=SUM(AMOUNT) FOR WORK = 4
TOTAL
