Considerations—BREAK FOOTING
Considerations—BREAK FOOTING
BREAK ON required
If you define break footings, you must enter a BREAK ON command that includes
the break column identifier in each BREAK FOOTING command before you list
any output.
One footing per break column
Only one BREAK FOOTING command is in effect for each break column. If you
enter another BREAK FOOTING command for the same break column, the most
recent command replaces the previous BREAK FOOTING command for that
column.
Print list limited to 4072 bytes of printed output
The print list you specify in a BREAK FOOTING command is a logical line, even
though (depending on margin settings, device widths, and use of the SKIP clause) it
might print on more than one physical line. A logical line is limited to 4072 bytes,
including the field widths of all print items and the number of spaces between items.
