This example uses the SUM() function to sum the AMOUNT column, 
creating a new column named GRPTOTAL with a COMMA10. format.    

The COUNT() function counts the number of occurrences of STATE 
within each group.                                              

The GROUP BY clause collapses multiple rows for each group      
into one row per group, containing STATE, GRPTOTAL and the      
COUNT.
