powerbuilder crosstab datawindow

i have created a very simple crosstab datawindow in pb 11.5. i am using SQL SERVER 2000 but as you may see the query is a very simple select statement (there is not any table)
What i want to do is the following

1) avoid to suppress the repeating values of any field
2) show an empty line every time partno is changed. (this mean that i want to create a group for the combination of fields

3) is it possible to create a group header where the categ and subcateg will be shown?

thanks for the reply. i want to do something different however. the results of the dw_retrieve() appears to be like

categ      subcateg      partno      price      price_1      price_2
1      1      1      10      11      12
1      1      2      20      21      22
1      2      3      10      11      12
1      2      4      20
1      2      5            21
1      2      6                  22

what i want to do is to have the lines like
=======================================
partno      price      price_1      price_2
=======================================
categ : 1 subcateg : 1
---------------------------
1 10 11 12
2 20 21 22

categ : 1 subcateg : 2
---------------------------
3 10 11 12
4 20
5 21
6 22
