Chapter 10 Adding Break Tables : Task C: Painting the Break Table

Task C: Painting the Break Table
After defining and positioning the break table, you paint it by placing your cursor on the name of the break table to be painted and pressing PF6. Painting a break table is very similar to painting a report table. Refer to Chapter 8, Painting the Report Tables for more information.

The following illustrates the Report Table Painter screen for a break table. The double dotted line in the illustration separates the report fields of the report table from the report fields of the break table:

Fields for the break table can be added in the Image area or the Field Definition area. Their definition values are typed in below the protected area.
Deriving Values
The derived fields are defined in the same way as for report tables, using the Expand screen. Refer to Task B1: Add the Source for a Derived Value for more information.
A derived field on a break table automatically assumes values from a report field on the body report table with the same name. As a result, if the source report field has the same name as the derived report field, you cannot enter any information in the Expand screen.
Defining Title Rows and Title and Final Columns
The title rows are defined in the same way as for body report tables, using the Titles/Headings screen. Refer to Task C: Add Titles and Headings for more information.
The title columns and final columns for a break table, which repeat across the page, inherit their definition from the body report table. This definition cannot be changed for the break table. A non-repeating break table does not have title columns and final columns.
