Chapter 10 Adding Break Tables : Task A: Defining Break Tables

Task A: Defining Break Tables
This task is used to do the following:
How to Define a Break Table
To define a break table, use the Report Definer screen. When you define a field to be a break field in the Control Fields screen, an entry is automatically made in the Control Breaks section of the Report Definer screen. The Control Breaks section is added to the Report Definer screen when a field is defined to a body report table.
Breaks Section
The following shows the Report Definer screen with the Control Breaks section added:

Control Break Defaults
The Control Breaks section contains the following default information, which is protected and cannot be modified:
The name of the break field (for example, MONTH_NUMBER) whose change in value causes an additional break table to be printed. This name appears in the Control Break Field field, next to the name of its associated report table. Refer to Task A: Select and Sort Data and Add Breaks for more information on break fields.
Name, Max Acr, Repeat Head, and Title Rows Fields
The following fields are used to add breaks to your report. Use PF1 for valid values.
Contains the name of the break table. The name must be a valid name and be unique to the report. This break table can be shared by other reports.
Determines whether the report is an across report and, if so, how many times the break table repeats across the page.
Contains the number of title rows for the break table. You can change this value from the Titles/Headings screen.
