Group Limit Clause

This clause explicitly gives the lowest permissible vertical position for any line in a specific body group.

Group Limit Clause: Coding Rules

  • Your integer must not be greater than the lower limit (LAST DETAIL, LAST CONTROL FOOTING, or PAGE LIMIT) that would normally apply without the clause (see PAGE LIMIT clause).

  • Code this clause only at the 01-level in a body group (DETAIL or CH/CF).

  • Your group's first LINE clause must be relative.

Group Limit Clause: Operation

  • When doing the page-fit test, report writer will use your integer as the bottom line number, beneath which no part of the group may appear, instead of the usual end-of-region values (see PAGE LIMIT clause).

  • This clause is especially useful in a CONTROL HEADING, which might appear misplaced if it appeared near the bottom of the page like the DETAIL and CONTROL FOOTING groups.

Compatibility

The GROUP LIMIT clause is unique to new Report Writer.
