Section Event Processing

When a report is processed, several events are encountered. The processing of attached logic might be dependent on processes that occur before and after a particular event.

When you submit a report for processing, the system processes the report header before the level-one section, and then the level-one section is initialized by the Initialize Section event. After the Initialize Section event, the system processes the Advance Section, Page Footer, Page Header, and so on. When the system finishes processing the first level-one section and all dependent sections associated with it, the system repeats the process for the next level-one section.

Each section type includes different events; therefore, the event flow for each section type is slightly different. The events for each section type are described in the Event Levels section of this chapter.
