Lesson 4:  Quiz 3 

   1.  Assuming a page length of 60, and that the break footing on
       CUSTOMER-NO has 5 lines, what would happen to the page footing
       lineset if you positioned the break footing for CUSTOMER-NO on
       line 56?

              The page footing would be suppressed whenever the break
              footing for CUSTOMER-NO is printed, because if a lineset
              overlaps the page heading or footing, the page heading or
              footing is suppressed.

   2.  How can you reserve space for a lineset whether or not that
       lineset is printed?

              By reserving the space.  Type R after the line number in
              the Abs field for that lineset.  Note:  reserving space
              only affects other linesets that are not absolutely
              positioned.

   3.  What happens when you absolutely position the break footing for
       CUSTOMER-NO and the break footing for SALES-AREA on the same line?

              If both breaks occur, the second one is printed on the
              given line position on the next page.
