The End of Layout Section property determines where the Paper Design view will stop searching for aligned objects. This property is used primarily for character-mode reports and is used to restrict the scope of search for matching objects.

Varies according to the object. |
Suppose you have the following layout:
Normally, when you move an object in the Paper Design
view, all the objects that align vertically/horizontally with that object will
also move. In the above case showing a tabular layout, if you move F_empno
,
then Empno
will, correctly, move.
This enables you to make sure that objects that are related move together. However,
in the above case, &CurrentDate
will also move (which you do not want).
When you set the End of Layout Section property to Yes, you prune the
search tree. In the above case, you could set the End of Layout Section property
for the outer frame surrounding the tabular layout to Yes, and then &CurrentDate
wouldnt be considered to be related when you move F_empno
.
