RE: S/36 RPG Indicator confusion

["Bale, Dan" <DBale@xxxxxxxx>]

L1 is the lowest level, L9 the highest.  Every time a level break occurs,
that specific level break and all the levels lower than that one have their
level break indicators turned on.

In your case, every time your Invoice Number (ARINV#) changed, L1 got turned
on (as well as L2).

Your sort order normally determines how to specify level breaks.  I'm
guessing that your data is sequenced by ARCOMP, ARCUST, & ARINV#.  Where is
ARINYY in this sequence?  If higher than ARCOMP, use L9.  If between ARCOMP
& ARCUST, use any of L4-L7.
