GROUPMAXPAGES

Required

No

Default Value

(None)

Data Type

AFP, Line

Determines the maximum number of pages that ACIF puts into a group. Allows ACIF to logically segment a large report into groups of pages and create indexes for each group. You can specify a number from 1 to 9999.

If the maximum number of pages is reached before a group index value has changed, ACIF forces a new group. If you do not specify the GROUPMAXPAGES parameter, ACIF does not terminate the current group and begin a new group until the value of one of the fields named by an INDEX with BREAK=YES changes.

When indexing transaction data with a GROUPRANGE index, you typically set the GROUPMAXPAGES parameter to control the maximum number of pages in a group.
