3-02:Output Frame Class Execution

Chapter 3-2: Getting Started

Output Frame Class Execution

For each frame class, you can define multiple frames, each of which executes in Sequence Number order.

Report and page class frames never execute unless APPX executes at least one range or Record class frame. This guarantees that you do not generate empty reports, comprised exclusively of report headings and footers, and page headings and footers.

With the exception of range class frames, all frames within a class execute when the frame class executes. Individual range class frames execute conditionally; if the range field is not used as a sort field when the report executes, the range class frame does not execute.

Figure 3-2-7 depicts the placement of frames on a printed page.
