The summary line information is displayed for each change of data in a user-defined sort control field at any of the five sort levels. You may elect to display the selected output data elements at each of the five levels.
The forms are positioned to the top of the next page after printing the major summary line. This page eject occurs when the summary line option on the SORT statement is an E. By specifying a P, you can request a page eject after printing the major summary line with the page number reset to one.
Associated with each summarization level are description and control fields. You may elect to display these fields and associate personalized descriptive header information with the summary lines. This is accomplished through the use of DESCRIPT statements. See the DESCRIPT Statement section in this chapter.
In addition, the control field and summarization description can be displayed as headers to signal the beginning of a new summarization level as illustrated by items H, I and J. No other information appears on this line. Note that the descriptions have been staggered to present a more meaningful relationship between the different summarization levels. This is accomplished by appropriately spacing the summarization description in the field when preparing the DESCRIPT statements.
An additional final summary line, item R, is automatically displayed at the end of each report. All requested information that may logically be accumulated is presented as a final total on this line.
