Considerations

  • If a before subpage condition is true and causes a switch to a new page format, all before subpage conditions in the new page format are ignored.
  • If a before line condition is true and causes a switch to a new page format, all before subpage and before line conditions in the new page format are ignored until one line has been processed.

The consequence of this is that, after a true condition, at least one line must be processed before the next before condition is considered. This can be confusing because a condition that would otherwise yield a true result can be ignored.

See Record Reprocessing for an example of record reprocessing.
