[GNC] Transaction Report

[Michael or Penny Novack]

I am not sure what you are asking or what your expectations might be.

This is a "transaction report" against what account?  What is the "type" 
of that account? What is the normal state of the balance of that account 
in terms of the formal terms :debit" and "credit" -- in other words, if 
you were thinking of those in terms of positive and negative numbers, 
how would those match up?

I'm not asking you to answer those questions for us as to think about 
them for a moment and answer for yourself.

Thus, I am thinking that the account is a bank account (type asset, 
normal balance debit) against which these are transactions are purchases 
made by "debit card". In which case they would be CREDITS to that 
account, reducing the DEBIT balance of that account  Or if you insist on 
positive and negative numbers, if the normal balance of that account is 
positive, these would be negative.
