OLDCV$ 

The OLDCV$ is a Report Writer function that returns the value of a BREAK
WHEN control expression.  The value stored is the value the last time a
break at the given level (or lower level) occurred.  The BREAK WHEN
statement at this level must have a string control expression.

The OLDCV$ value is not available until report output is started.
References to this function before that time generate an error.
