Trailing

...

Anchorkanchor1kanchor1"Trailing" break lines are typically used to insert level or break totals.

As an example of this, consider the following modifications to the RDML program used in the 4.4.5 Using a Leading DEF_BREAK Command to demonstrate "leading" break lines:

     GROUP_BY    NAME(#ACCOUNT)

...

 
            FIELDS(

...

#COMP #DIV #DEPT #EXPEND #REVNU)
DEF_HEAD    NAME(#HEADING)

...

 FIELDS(#COMP)

...

 
            TRIGGER_BY(

...

#COMP *OVERFLOW)
DEF_BREAK   NAME(#BREAK01)

...

 FIELDS(#DIV)

...

 
            TRIGGER_BY(

...

#COMP #DIV)
            TYPE(*LEADING)
DEF_BREAK   NAME(#BREAK02)

...

 FIELDS(#DIV #DIVEXP #DIVRNU)
            TRIGGER_BY(

...

#COMP #DIV) TYPE(*TRAILING)
DEF_LINE    NAME(#DETAILS)

...

 FIELDS(#DEPT #EXPEND #REVNU)

DEFINE      FIELD(#DIVEXP)

...

 REFFLD(#EXPEND)

...

 LABEL('Expend')
DEFINE      FIELD(#DIVRNU)

...

 REFFLD(#REVNU)  LABEL('Revenue')
 
SELECT      FIELDS(#ACCOUNT)

...

 FROM_FILE(ACCOUNTS)
KEEP_TOTAL  OF_FIELD(#EXPEND)

...

 IN_FIELD(#DIVEXP)

...

 
            BY_FIELD(

...

#COMP #DIV)
KEEP_TOTAL  OF_FIELD(#REVNU)  IN_FIELD(#DIVRNU)

...

 
            BY_FIELD(

...

#COMP #DIV)
PRINT       LINE(#DETAILS)
ENDSELECT
ENDPRINT

 
Note how the DEF_BREAK command is "triggered" by change of #COMP or #DIV. Note also the KEEP_TOTAL commands into the SELECT loop. These are used to automatically keep the company/division subtotals. Refer to the KEEP_XXXXX command series for more details of these commands and their usage.

The resulting report, using default design attributes, would probably look something like this:
