groups

---

Data for all groups on a screen follows all non-group data for all windows of the screen. If you have data for a field in a multi-line group, after the value for the last data item that is not part of a multi-line group, add a comma and then the following:

Quantity of Groups

Number of multi-line groups for which data is provided

Group Data

Data for each group. Data is formatted as follows:

Quantity of Rows

Number of rows in the group for which data is provided

Row Data

Data for each row in the group. Data for each row in a group is formatted as follows:

Row Number

Relative number of the row on the screen (starting with 0, not 1)

Quantity of Controls

Number of data items included in the row

Data

The control data for each row of each group immediately follows the quantity of group controls. For the format of the control entries, see transaction record data section.

For deletes, the number of groups is zero because the filter values completely specify the database entries to be deleted.

When there are no groups, you must still specify quantity of groups as zero followed by a comma: 0,.
