**ABSOLUTE**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **ABSOLUTE** attribute (PROP:ABSOLUTE) ensures that the DETAIL, or group HEADER or FOOTER structure (contained within a BREAK structure), always prints at a fixed position on the page. When ABSOLUTE is present, the position specified by the //x// and //y// parameters of the structure's AT attribute is relative to the top left corner of the page. ABSOLUTE has no effect on following structures printed without the ABSOLUTE attribute.

**Example:**

**CustRpt REPORT,AT(1000,2000,6500,9000),THOUS**

**          HEADER**

**           !structure elements  **

**          END**

**CDetail1  DETAIL,AT(0,0,6500,1000)**

**           !structure elements  **

**          END**

**CDetail2  DETAIL,AT(1000,1000,6500,1000),****ABSOLUTE**** !fixed position detail**

**           !structure elements**

**          END**
