7.21 DEF_BREAK

The DEF_BREAK command is used to define one or more break lines for inclusion on a report.

Only fields of type Alpha, Packed, and Signed may be specified. RDMLX field types cannot be specified.

Break lines are only printed when the condition specified in the TRIGGER_BY parameter is true. Break lines are primarily intended to produce level or control "break" lines in a report.

You should read Producing Reports Using LANSA in the Developers Guide before attempting to use the DEF_BREAK command.
