This can be done very easy, with no coding at all.

Multiple sections in the layout can refer to different groups in the data model and repeating frames can contain fields that break at different group levels. See 'Buidling reports' manual page 6-9.

Refer to the fields in the layout using concatenated fields or using a field reference ('A-&<F_pageno>').
