Control Break Processing
[THESE NOTES STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION]
A control break is a value change detection method used within ordinary loops to trigger
processing for groups of values. A key changeable value or values are monitored within the loop
and a change diverts program flow to the handling of the group event associated with the
changeable value.
When the Control Field value changes, this is a "Control Break". In a report, this is the time to do
something to differentiate from the other customers, in this example: print a total, indicate
some different line/page spacing to make it easy for a user to "see" the "break".
