Suppressing Control Break Headings and Footings

You can suppress control break headings and footings for one or more control break levels by specifying the label for a user‑defined control break heading or footing on the Heading fill‑in with no lines following.

For example, to suppress a control break heading for a level‑3 control break, the label is specified and a heading is not. Notice in the following screen that the control break heading label line is immediately followed by another label to define a control break footing for level‑1.

Note: If you define your own control break headings or footings, you must account for every break level by defining or suppressing control break headings and footings. Also, if you define your own control break heading or footing for a report that contains only one break, you must specify the level 1 clause.

You can turn off the control break headings and footings in the Parameters fill‑in, but if you specify them in the Heading fill‑in, be sure to specify yes on the corresponding Parameters fill‑in. Otherwise, the report output might be incorrect.
