breakBefore

The breakBefore object describes the conditional constraints for moving to a new page or content area before laying down the parent container. The breakBefore object is invoked before laying out the parent subform. The leaders and trailers are laid down before and after any jump that the breakBefore object mandates.

An optional script object associated with the breakBefore object determines whether it is respected. This script object defaults to the true condition, which means that breakBefore objects with no script object are always invoked.

The breakBefore object is functionally equivalent to the deprecated syntax of break (deprecated) . before (deprecated) and beforeTarget (deprecated) .
