**AddBreak( )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

**AddBreak     **Identifies to the corresponding report that an embedded break object is active.

The **AddBreak **method identifies that an embedded break object is active for a corresponding report. An internal BreakID number is assigned for each break object created. This BreakID is incremented when a subsequent **AddBreak** method is executed.

**Implementation:**

The AddBreak method is called for each break object that is active for a report. Each object is instantiated from the LevelManagerClass. An AddLevel method follows each AddBreak method.

**Example:**

**  BreakMgr.****AddBreak()****                 !First Break**

**  BreakMgr.AddLevel()                 !Auto assign level 1**

**  BreakMgr.AddResetField(PEO:Gender)**

**  BreakMgr.AddTotal(TestCount,1)**

**  BreakMgr.****AddBreak()****                 !Second Break**

**  BreakMgr.AddLevel() !Break2**
