$NOTEXTDUPS

$NOTEXTDUPS

The $NOTEXTDUPS command prints the constant text in a group the first time the group prints after another group. When you print this group again without intervening groups, the constant text does not print. The following example shows a simple report printed without and with $NOTEXTDUPS.
