I have the following fields in table A:

GL_ID|GL_Name_VC| Amount |Period_TI|Year_SI
===================================================
1000|liability | -10,000.00 | 08 | 2005
===================================================
1001| asset | 20,000.00 | 08 | 2005
===================================================
1000|liability | -9,000.00 | 09 | 2005

the fields above have the following datatype:

Fields | Datatype
===================================
GL_ID | Integer
GL_Name_VC | Variable Character
Amount | Integer
Period_TI | TinyInteger
Year_SI | SmallInteger

The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:

Description Amount
asset 20,000.00
liability (10,000.00)
===========
Net Asset 10,000.00
===========

The above report would list 2 columns as Description & Amount, next it would sort the Description
column by GL_ID, next by Year 2005 & lastly by Period 08, with a net figure of asset minus liability.

Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?
