Figure 4-12 shows the report. The DELIV_DATE value in the first footing is taken from
the last row of each customer break group. The ORDERNUM value is taken from the
last row of each order break group.
Line Numbers
The report writer provides a LINE_NUMBER function for numbering the lines of a
report. You can use one sequence for the whole report or restart the numbering at a
new page or at a new break group.
The line number is incremented at each detail line. If the detail line is printed as
multiple output lines, the number is incremented only once for each set of output lines.
