**Init( )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **Init** | Initialize the BreakManager object. |

The **Init **method initializes the BreakManager by clearing any prior entries in the internal Break Queue, which holds any breaks defined. Normally, the Destruct method also performs a similar function, but the **Init** method ensures that the Break Queue is clean before calling the report.

**Implementation:     **The **Init** method is called prior to the first AddBreak method.

**Example:**

**  CODE**

**  GlobalErrors.SetProcedureName('PrintPEO:KeyLastName')**

**  SELF.Request = GlobalRequest    ! Store the incoming request**

**  ReturnValue = PARENT.Init()**

**  IF ReturnValue THEN RETURN ReturnValue.**

**  SELF.FirstField = ?Progress:Thermometer**

**  SELF.VCRRequest &= VCRRequest**

**  SELF.Errors &= GlobalErrors     ! Set this windows ErrorManager to the global ErrorManager**

**  CLEAR(GlobalRequest)            ! Clear GlobalRequest after storing locally**

**  CLEAR(GlobalResponse)**

**  SELF.AddItem(Translator)        ! Run-time translation enabled so get the global translator**

**  Relate:people.Open **

**! File people used by this procedure, so make sure it's RelationManager is open**

**  SELF.FilesOpened = True**

** ****BreakMgr.Init()**

**  BreakMgr.AddBreak()**
