
The SUMMARIZE BY prompt calls for the numbers of the sort fields you
want to use as control breaks.

A break point occurs when a sort field value changes and is a place
where you may want to perform functions (eg: subtotal, count,
average, minimum, maximum) on certain fields.

The sort field numbers can be entered in any order, separated by
commas, and you may include a '0' (zero) to indicate that a grand
(total report) summary line is also required.
Type of Summary Functions:
The field number may be followed by a suffix indicating the type

example: '3,4,4C,1L,5A,1H'.
