Definition

In this field you can specify a keep level for all characteristics of a row or column block (except for the first characteristic).

If a summary record is printed with the specified level, the higher totals of the next characteristic of this record are split according to the specified level.

You can define the keep level of your choice either top-down (positive values) or bottom-up (negative values).

Example

The following multi-dimension set is defined as the row block in a
report:


-----------
| Multi |
-----------
---------------------------|---------------------------
--------|-------- --------|-------- --------|--------
|Global compny A| | Accounts | | Currency unit |
----------------- ----------------- -----------------
| ---------|--------- | |
| --------|-------- --------|-------- | |
A |Account group 1| |Account group 2| DEM USD
----------------- -----------------
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
... ... ... ... ... ...

If keep level '1-' is set for the characteristic 'currency unit' (right-hand basic set), the following report would be issued (the individual accounts are not displayed in order to give a better overview):

Global company A
DEM 40.00
USD 60.00
Account group 1
DEM 10.00
USD 20.00
Account group 2
DEM 30.00
USD 40.00

All the higher totals are split according to the characteristic 'currency unit' in the report because of the keep level. If no keep level was set in the report, no higher totals would be displayed because amounts with different units are not added up.
