Comments

The DETAIL LINE command is executed for every record of the set specified in the REPORT FROM command.

The column headings for all reportitems specified in the DETAIL LINE command are displayed, subject to any colheadings specification.

Only one detail line is produced for each record of the report set. If more than one DETAIL LINE command is used in a report specification, the DETAIL LINE command that is executed for a particular record in the report set is the first DETAIL LINE without a WHERE clause, or the first DETAIL LINE whose WHERE clause is true for that record.

For more information on format, see Available Format Options.
