• Start‑of‑report (report header)—When the report begins, a start‑of‑report (or report header) break occurs. This break can be thought of as a change of value from no data to some data. Use this break to specify titles and other heading information that appears once at the top of the report.

• End‑of‑report (report footer)—When the report finishes, an end‑of‑report (or report footer) break occurs. This break can be thought of as the change from some data to no data. Use this break to specify information that is only printed once, at the end of the report, such as grand totals, footnotes, and so forth.

• Detail—When each data row is read by the report, a detail break occurs. For the detail break, detailed printing of data items is most commonly specified.
