% \begin{abstract}
% In financial reports, text and currency amounts are regularly put in
% one table, e.g., a year balance or a profit-and-loss overview.
% This package provides the settings for automatically typesetting
% such columns, including the sum line (preceded by a rule of the correct
% width), using the specifier |f|.
%
% The column specifier |f| itself is rather simple.  It is the predefined version
% of a generic column |F|.  The generic version expects three arguments:
% |#1| is the separator, |#2| is the decimal mark, and |#3| the coding used for
% grouping digits of the integer part and decimal part.
%
% The f-column in the current version of the package is defined as
% |\newcolumntype{f}{F{.}{,}{3,2}}| (which is the continental European standard, implemented here)
% and people in the Anglo-saxon world would rather code |\newcolumntype{f}{F{,}{.}{3,2}}|.
% The default value for |#3| is 3,2, indicating that grouping of the integer part
% is by three digits and that the decimal part consists of two digits. 
% If however, in your country or company grouping is done with a thinspace every 
% four digits and there are three digits after the decimal mark---that happens to 
% be a |\cdot|---, then simply specify |\newcolumntype{f}{F{\,}{\cdot}{4,3}}| in 
% that case.  By default two digits are used for the decimal part, so if you really
% want no decimal digits (in that case of course also skipping the decimal mark) 
% you have to explicitly specify |x,0|.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
% To show where and how the f-column is used, let's look at a typical financial table.
%
% \begin{table}[htb]
% \begin{tabular}{@{}lflf@{}}
% \multicolumn4c{\bfseries Balance sheet}\\
% \multicolumn1{@{}l}{properties}&\multicolumn1r{31 dec 2014}
% &\multicolumn1l{debts}&\multicolumn1{l@{}}{31 dec 2014}\\
% \hline
% house &     20000000 & equity capital&  5000000\\
% bank account& -60323 & mortgage &      15000000\\
% savings&     2800000 &         & \leeg         \\
% cash&          14585 & profit  &        2754262\\
% \sumline
% \check12
% \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{table}
%
% This table was entered as:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{table}[htb]
% \begin{tabular}{@{}lflf@{}}
% \multicolumn4c{\bfseries Balance sheet}\\
% \multicolumn1{@{}l}{properties}&\multicolumn1r{31 dec 2014}
% &\multicolumn1l{debts}&\multicolumn1{l@{}}{31 dec 2014}\\
% \hline
% house &     20000000 & equity capital&  5000000\\
% bank account& -60323 & mortgage &      15000000\\
% savings&     2800000 &         & \leeg         \\
% cash&          14585 & profit  &        2754262\\
% \sumline
% \check12
% \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{table}
% \end{verbatim}
% All the work was done by the column specifier ``f'' (for ``finance'').  In this case
% it constructs the |\sumline|, typesets the numbers, calculates the totals,
% and checks whether the two columns are in balance; if not, the user is warned
% via a |\message|.  Of course for nice settings one should use the
% |booktabs| package, but that is not the point here.
%
% This package is heavily inspired by the |dcolumn| package by David Carlisle,
% some constructions are more or less copied from that package.
%
% There is at least one things to improve in this version:
% An empty entry in an f-column should result in an empty spot in the table.
% Now an empty entry is not correct and is repaired by \LaTeX\ to be equal to
% 0, printing a number in the table.  This can be prevented by explicitly specifying 
% |\leeg|, like in the table above, but that should be automated.
%
% \section{The macros}
% \begin{macro}{column F}
% \begin{macro}{column f}
%
% Note that the definition of the column type |f| does not use private macros 
% (no |@|), so overriding its definition is easy for a user.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcolumntype{F}[3]{>{\b@fi{#1}{#2}{#3}}r<{\e@fi}}
\newcolumntype{f}{F{.}{,}{3,2}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\FCsc@l}
% Two \meta{count}s are defined, that both start at zero: the \meta{count} 
% |\FCsc@l|, that keeps track at which f-column the tabular is working on and 
% the \meta{count} |\FCtc@l|, that records the number of f-columns that were 
% encountered so far.  Later in the package the code can be found for generating
% a new \meta{count} and a new \meta{dimen} if the number of requested f-columns
% is larger than currently available.  This is of course the case when an f-column
% is used for the first time.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\FCsc@l \FCsc@l0
\newcount\FCtc@l \FCtc@l0
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\geldm@cro}
% The macro |\geldm@cro| takes a number and by default interprets this as
% an amount expressed in cents (dollar cents, euro cents, centen, 
% Pfennige, kopecks, groszy) and typesets it as the amount in entire 
% currency units (dollars, euros, guldens, Marke, ruble, z\l oty)
% with comma as decimal separator and the dot as thousand separator.
% As explained, this can be changed. It uses a private boolean |\withs@p|
% and an accessable, i.e., without |@| boolean: |\strictaccounting|.  The latter  
% is used to typeset negative numbers between parentheses.  By default it doesn't
% do this: a minus sign is used.  It also uses two private \meta{count}s. I'm still
% figuring out whether this is needed; everything is done local within a column
% of an |\ialign|, so using |\count0|, |\count1|, etc.\ might also work: it would
% safe two \meta{count}s.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\g@lda
\newcount\g@ldb
\newif\ifwiths@p
\newif\ifstrictaccounting \strictaccountingfalse
%    \end{macrocode}
% Actually |\geldm@cro| is only a wrapper around |\g@ldm@cro|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\geldm@cro#1#2{\withs@pfalse 
 \afterassignment\g@ldm@cro\count@#2\relax{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\g@ldm@cro}
% This macro starts by looking at the sign of |#2|: if it is negative, it prints the correct
% indicator (a parenthesis or a minus sign), assigns the absolute value of |#2| to |\g@lda| 
% and goes on.  Note that |\geldm@cro| and therefore |\g@ldm@cro| are used within |$|s, so 
% it is really a minus sign that is printed, not a hyphen.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\g@ldm@cro#1\relax#2{%
 \ifnum#2<0 \ifstrictaccounting(\else-\fi\g@lda=-#2 \else\g@lda=#2 \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% Calculate the entire currency units: this is the result of $x/a$ as integer
% division, with $a=10^n$ and $n$ the part of |#1| after the separator (if any).
% Here the first character of |#1| is discarded, so the separator in |#1| is not strict:
% you could also specify |3.2| instead of |3,2| (or even |3p2|).
%   \begin{macrocode}
 \ifx\relax#1\relax\g@ldb=2 \else \g@ldb\@gobble#1\relax\fi
 \loop
  \ifnum\g@ldb>0 \divide\g@lda by 10 \advance\g@ldb by \m@ne
 \repeat
%    \end{macrocode}
% The value in |\g@lda| is then output by |\g@ldens| using the separation given.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \g@ldens{\the\count@}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% If there is a decimal part\dots
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \ifx\relax#1\relax\g@ldb=2 \else \g@ldb\@gobble#1\relax\fi
 \ifnum\g@ldb>0\decim@lmark
%    \end{macrocode}
% Next the decimal part is dealt with. Now $x\bmod a$ is calculated in the 
% usual way: $x-(x/a)*a$.  The minus sign necessary for this calculation is 
% introduced in the next line by changing the comparison to |>| instead of |<|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifnum#2>0 \g@lda=-#2\else\g@lda=#2 \fi
  \loop
   \ifnum\g@ldb>0 \divide\g@lda by 10 \advance\g@ldb by \m@ne
  \repeat
  \ifx\relax#1\relax\g@ldb=2 \else \g@ldb\@gobble#1\relax\fi
  \loop
   \ifnum\g@ldb>0 \multiply\g@lda by 10 \advance\g@ldb by \m@ne
  \repeat
  \ifnum#2>0 \advance\g@lda by #2
  \else \advance\g@lda by -#2
  \fi
  \ifx\relax#1\relax\g@ldb=2 \else \g@ldb\@gobble#1\relax\fi
  \zerop@d{\number\g@ldb}{\number\g@lda}%
 \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% If the negative number is indicated by putting it between parentheses, then the
% closing parenthesis should stick out of the column, otherwise the alignment of 
% this entry in the column is wrong.  This is done by an |\rlap| and therefore does
% not influence the column width.  For the last column this means that this parenthesis
% may even stick out of the table.  I don't like this, therefore I chose to put 
% |\strictaccountingfalse|.  Change if you like.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \ifnum#2<0 \ifstrictaccounting\rlap{)}\fi\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\g@ldens}
% Here the whole currency units are dealt with.  The macro |\g@ldens| is used
% recursively, therefore the double braces; this allows to use |\count0| locally.
% Tail recursion is not possible here (at least I don't know of a way), but that 
% is not very important, as the largest number ($2^{31}-1$) will only cause a 
% threefold recursion.  This also implies that the largest amount this package
% can deal with is 2.147.483.647 (using |x.0|). For most people this is probably
% more than enough if the currency is euros or dollars.  If not, then it is 
% more likely that you are spending your time on the beach than studying this package.
% And otherwise make clear that you use a currency unit of k\$.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\g@ldens#1{{\g@ldb=\g@lda \count0=#1
%    \end{macrocode}
% First divide by $10^n$, where $n$ is |#1|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \loop
  \ifnum\count0>0
  \divide\g@lda by 10
  \advance\count0 by \m@ne
 \repeat
%    \end{macrocode}
% Here is the recursive part,
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \ifnum\g@lda>0 \g@ldens{#1}\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% and then reconstruct the rest of the number.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \count0=#1
 \loop
  \ifnum\count0>0
  \multiply\g@lda by 10
  \advance\count0 by \m@ne
 \repeat
 \g@lda=-\g@lda
 \advance\g@lda by \g@ldb \du@zendprint{#1}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\du@zendprint}
% The macro |\du@zendprint| takes care for correctly printing the separator
% and possible trailing zeros.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\du@zendprint#1{\ifwiths@p\sep@rator\zerop@d{#1}{\number\g@lda}%
 \else\zerop@d{1}{\number\g@lda}\fi
 \global\withs@ptrue}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\zerop@d}
% The macro |\zerop@d| uses at least |#1| digits for printing the 
% number |#2|, padding with zeros when necessary.
% Initially this was a nice macro using tail recursion until it was
% found that the running time of that macro was proportional to $n^2$,
% where $n$ is roughly the number of zeros to be padded. The worst
% case situation is when printing ``0''.  The running time of the current version
% is only linear in $n$.
%
% It is done within an extra pair of braces, so that |\count0| 
% and |\count1| can be used without disturbing their values in other macros.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\zerop@d#1#2{{\count0=1 \count1=#2
%    \end{macrocode}
% First determine the number of digits of |#2| (expressed in the decimal
% system).  This number is in |\count0| and is at least~1.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \loop
  \divide \count1 by 10
  \ifnum\count1>0 \advance\count0 by 1
 \repeat
%    \end{macrocode}
% The number of zeros to be padded is $\max(0,|#1-\count0|)$ (the second
% argument can be negative), so a simple loop suffices.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \loop
  \ifnum\count0<#1 0\advance\count0 by 1
 \repeat 
 \number#2}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\zetg@ld}
% This macro takes care for several things: it increases the total for a given
% f-column, it records the largest width of the entries in that column and it
% typesets |#1| via |\geldm@cro|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\zetg@ld#1#2{\global\advance\csname 
 FCtot@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname by #1
 \setbox0=\hbox{$\geldm@cro{#1}{#2}$}%

 \fi\unhbox0}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\check}
% The macro |\check| provides a way to the user to check that the  appropriate 
% columns are balanced (as it should in a balance).  Arguments |#1| and |#2| are
% the column numbers to compare.  It is the responsibility of the user to provide
% the correct numbers here, otherwise bogus output is generated.  But the output is
% only to screen and the transcript file; it doesn't change the appearance of your
% document, so you can safely ignore the result then, repair and go on.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\check#1#2{\noalign{\ifnum\csname FCtot@\romannumeral#1\endcsname=
 \csname FCtot@\romannumeral#2\endcsname\else

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\b@fi}
% The macro |\b@fi| provides the beginning of the financial column.
% It will be inserted in the column to capture the number
% entered by the user. The |\let| is only local to the column and is necessary because
% |\ignorespaces| is automatically inserted by the preamble-generating macro |\@mkpream|.
% Its effect should be annihilated, otherwise the assignment to |\bedr@g| goes wrong.
% The plain \LaTeX\ command |\@empty| is used for that.  The separator and decimal mark
% are within a math environment, so you can indeed specify |\,| instead of |\thinspace|,
% but there is an extra brace around, so it doesn't affect
% the spacing between the digits (trick copied from |dcolumn|).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcount\bedr@g
\def\b@fi#1#2#3{\def\sep@rator{{#1}}\def\decim@lmark{{#2}}%
 \let\ignorespaces=\@empty \def\sp@l{#3}\global\advance\FCsc@l by \@ne

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\e@fi}
% Once captured, the rest is handled by |\e@fi|.  The number is then

\def\e@fi{\relax \zetg@ld{\number\bedr@g}{\sp@l}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% Here are adaptations to existing macros.
% \begin{macro}{\@xarraycr}
% Among all its tasks, now |\\| also resets the column number.  This 
% is a transparant change, i.e., loading this package without using 
% the ``f'' column specifier does
% not change the effect of package |array.sty| in any way.
% This resetting has to be done after the |\cr|, so it is stored
% in a |\noalign|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@xarraycr{\@ifnextchar [%
 \@argarraycr {\ifnum 0=`{}\fi \cr\noalign{\global\FCsc@l=0 }}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\@array}
% The definition of |\@array| had to be extended slightly because
% it should also include |\@mksumline| (acting on the same |#2|
% as |\@mkpream| gets).  Also this change is transparant: it only adds 
% functionality and if you don't use that, you won't notice the difference.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@array[#1]#2{%
 \@tempdima \ht \strutbox
 \advance \@tempdima by\extrarowheight
 \setbox \@arstrutbox \hbox{\vrule
            \@height \arraystretch \@tempdima

%    \end{macrocode}
% The combination |\endgroup| followed by |\begingroup| seems redundant, but that is
% not the case: the |\endgroup| restores everything that was not |\global|.  With the
% following |\begingroup| it is ensured that |\@mksumline| experiences the same
% settings as |\@mkpream| did.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \endgroup 
 \begingroup
 \@mksumline{#2}%
 \endgroup
%    \end{macrocode}
% As a side product of |\@mksumline| also the \meta{count}s for the totals and 
% \meta{dimen}s for the widths of the colums are created.  The columns should start
% fresh, i.e., totals are 0 and widths are
% 0\thinspace pt.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \res@tsumline
%    \end{macrocode}
% From here on it is just the old definition of |array.sty|.

%    \end{macrocode}
% Because |\@array| was changed here and it is this version that should be used,
% |\@@array| should be |\let| equal to |\@array| again.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@array=\@array
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\@mksumline}
% The construction of the sumline is much easier than that of the preamble for
% several reasons.  It may be safely assumed that the preamble specifier is
% grammatically correct because it has already been screened by |\@mkpream|.
% Furthermore most entries will simply add nothing to |\sumline|, e.g., |@|, |!|,
% and \verb+|+ can be fully ignored. Ampersands are only inserted by |c|, |l|, |r|,  
% |p|, |m|, and |b|.  So a specifier like |@{}lflf@{}| will yield the sumline
% |&\a&&\a\\|, where |\a| is a macro that prints the desired result of the column.
% Had the specifier been \verb+l|f||@{   }l|f+, then the same sumline must
% be constructed: all difficulties are already picked up and solved in the creation
% of the preamble.
%
% In reality the sumline must be constructed from the expanded form of the specifier,
% so |@{}lf@{}| will expand as |@{}l>{\b@fi#1#2#2}r<{\e@fi}@{}|. The
% rules for constructing the sumline are now very simple:
% \begin{compactitem}
% \item add an ampersand when |c|, |l|, |r|, |p|, |m|, or |b| is found, unless it is
% the first one (this is the same as in the preamble);
% \item add a |\a| when |<{\e@fi}| is found;
% \item ignore everything else.
% \end{compactitem}
% To discriminate, a special version of |\testpach| could be written, but that is 
% not necessary: |\testpach| can do all the work, although much of it will be discarded.
% Here speed is sacrificed for space and this can be afforded because the creation
% of the sumline is only done once per |\tabular|.
% 
% The start is copied from |\@mkpream|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@mksumline#1{\gdef\sumline{}
 \@lastchclass 4 \@firstamptrue
%    \end{macrocode}
% At first the column number is reset and the actual code for what was called |\a| 
% above is made inactive.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \global\FCsc@l=\z@
 \let\prr@sult=\relax

%    \end{macrocode}
% Next is the loop over all tokens in the expanded form of the specifier.  The change
% with respect to |\@mkpream| is that the body of the loop is now only dealing
% with classes 0, 2, and 10.  What to do in those cases is of course different from
% what to do when constructing the preamble, so special definitions are created, see
% below.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
% And the macro is finished by appending the |\\| to the sumline.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \xdef\sumline{\sumline\noexpand\\}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\@addtosumline}
% Macro |\@addtosumline|, as its name already suggests, adds something to the 
% sumline, like its counterpart |\@addtopreamble| did to the preamble.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@addtosumline#1{\xdef\sumline{\sumline #1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\@classfx}
% Class~10 for the sumline creation is a stripped down version of |\@classx|: add an ampersand
% unless it is the first.  It deals with the specifiers |b|, |m|, |p|, |c|, |l|, and |r|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@classfx{\if@firstamp \@firstampfalse \else \@addtosumline &\fi} 
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\@classfz}
% Class~0 is applicable for specifiers |c|, |l|, and |r| and if the arguments of |p|, |m|,
% or |b| are given.  The latter three cases, with |\@chnum| is 0, 1, or~2 should be ignored
% and the first three cases are now similar to class~10.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@classfz{\ifnum\@chnum<\thr@@ \@classfx\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\@classfii}
% Here comes the nice and nasty part. Class~2 is applicable if a |<| is specified.  This is
% tested by checking |\@lastchclass|, which should be equal to~8.  Then it is checked that
% the argument to |<| is indeed |\e@fi|.  This check is rather clumsy but this was the
% first way, after many attempts, that worked.  It is necessary because the usage of |<|
% is not restricted to |\e@fi|: the user may have specified other \TeX-code using |<|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@classfii{\ifnum\@lastchclass=8 
 \edef\t@stm{\expandafter\string\@nextchar}
 \edef\t@stn{\string\e@fi}
 \ifx\t@stm\t@stn
%    \end{macrocode}
% If both tests yield |true| then add the macro to typeset everything.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \@addtosumline{\prr@sult}
%    \end{macrocode}
% But we're not done yet: in the following lines of code the appropriate \meta{count}s 
% and \meta{dimen}s are created, if necessary.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \global\advance\FCsc@l by \@ne
  \ifnum\FCsc@l>\FCtc@l
%    \end{macrocode}
% Apparently the number of requested columns is larger than the currently available number,
% so a new one should be created.  What is checked here is its existence: if it exists, it is not
% created by |fcolumn| so it may be something other than a \meta{count}, in which things go haywire.
% Therefore it is assumed that only |fcolumn| is allowed to generate a \meta{count} called 
% |\FCtot@<some romannumeral>|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \expandafter\ifx\csname FCtot@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname\relax
    \expandafter\newcount\csname FCtot@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname
   \else
    \message{\noexpand\FCtot@\romannumeral\FCsc@l already exists.}
   \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% And the same is applicable for the \meta{dimen}: it is assumed that only |fcolumn| is allowed to
% generate a \meta{dimen} called |\FCwd@<some romannumeral>|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
   \expandafter\ifx\csname FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname\relax
    \expandafter\newdimen\csname FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname
%    \end{macrocode}
% If the creation was successful, the \meta{count} |\FCtc@l| should be increased.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \global\FCtc@l=\FCsc@l
   \else
    \message{\noexpand\FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l already exists.}
   \fi
  \fi
 \fi
\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Once created they are not initialised here because that is done later in one go.
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\leeg}
% The macro |\prr@sult| (see below) actually puts the information together.
% It starts with switching off the default behaviour of the f-column by 
% providing the number 0 to comfort the assignment in |\b@fi|, although
% any number would be good: it
% is discarded anyway.  This is achieved by |\let|ting |\e@fi| to be |\relax|.
% This |\let| is only local to the current column.  Since the user may from time to
% time also need an empty entry in the table, this definition is without at-sign.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\leeg{0\relax \let\e@fi=\relax}
%    \end{macrocode}
% A better solution were to check for a number.  If present then do the 
% default action, otherwise generate an empty entry.
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\prr@sult}
% And here it is: the end result.  First annihilate the effect of |\e@fi|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\prr@sult{\leeg
%    \end{macrocode}
% Then the information for the last line is computed.  It is not sufficient to calculate
% the width of the result (in points) to use that as the width of the rule separating 
% the individual entries and the result.  It may be that the sum is larger
% (in points) than any of the entries, e.g., when the result of $6+6$ is typeset.  The
% width of the rule should be equal to the width of |\hbox{$12$}| then.  On the other
% hand the width of the rule when summing $24$ and $-24$ should be that of |\hbox{$-24$}|
% (or |\hbox{$(24$}|, see above), not the width of the result |\hbox{$0$}|.  Therefore the 
% maximum of all entry widths, including the result, was calculated.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \setbox0=\hbox{$\geldm@cro{\number\csname
 FCtot@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname}{\sp@l}$}%
 \ifdim\wd0>\csname FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname
   \global\csname FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname=\wd0
 \fi
 \vbox{\hbox to \csname
  FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname{\hrulefill}\vskip2pt
  \hbox to \csname 
  FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname{\hfil\unhbox0}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\res@tsumline}
% Since all changes to the totals and widths of the columns are global,
% they have to be reset actively at the start of a tabular or array.
% That is an action by itself, but it may occur more often, on request
% of the user, therefore a special macro is defined.  The count 
% |\FCsc@l| can be used as a temporary register because its actual
% value is not important anymore.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\res@tsumline{\FCsc@l\FCtc@l \loop\ifnum\FCsc@l>0
   \global\csname FCtot@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname=0
   \global\csname FCwd@\romannumeral\FCsc@l\endcsname=0pt
   \advance\FCsc@l by \m@ne \repeat}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\resetsumline}
% To reset a sumline within a table, it should be done within a |\noalign|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\resetsumline{\noalign{\res@tsumline}}
%    \end{macrocode}
