The top part of the screen gives you some important information about the
existing linesets, as described below for the example screen show above.

   *   The ( Detail Lines ) information shows that there is 1 detail
       line.

   *   The ( Page Break ) information shows that there are 3 page break
       heading lines, requiring an absolute (Abs) page position.[REV BEG]

   *   The ( Report Break ) information shows that there are 18 lines
       that print on the top of the page (a heading) for the report break
       (essentially the cover page of the report) and 4 lines that print
       on the bottom of the page (a footing) at the end of the report.
[REV END]

This information helps you make other pagination and break decisions.

The bottom part of the screen lets you define sort levels, order, degree
of change, and placement of heading and footing lines.
