The report has seven linesets, as described below.

   1.  Page Heading.  This lineset prints the report title, page, and
       date on the top of each page.  For this report, it also acts as
       the report heading.

   2.  Level 1 Break Heading.  This is the lineset that prints a new
       sales area name when the item SALES-AREA changes.

   3.  Level 2 Break Heading.  This is the lineset that prints a new
       customer name when the CUSTOMER-NO changes.

   4.  Detail lineset.  This is the detail for each record in the report,
       including, for this report, each order number, product number,
       price of the product, quantity ordered, and the total value of the
       order.

   5.  Level 2 Footing.  The total sales for the customer during the
       month.  This is printed after the details of the last order for a
       customer, just before the CUSTOMER-NO changes.

   6.  Level 1 Footing.  The total monthly turnover for all the customers
       in the sales area.  This is printed after the details for the last
       customer in a sales area, just before the SALES-AREA changes.

   7.  Report Footing.  The total turnover for all the customers in all
       sales areas.  This is printed at the end of the report.
