Batch Events

As a batch application processes, the runtime engine pauses at certain points—called events—to process logic. You can use events to insert custom logic for processing. The basic flow of events within a section is:

  1. Initialize Section

  2. Do Section

  3. End Section

Some events are processed by the batch engine only if the appropriate section type exists. For example, Init Report Header and End Report Header are initialized only if the report includes a report header section. Likewise, Init Lvl Brk Footer and End Lvl Bk Footer are processed only if a level break footer exists.
