The first step is to change the repeat option of ORDER_LINE so that it is
terminated automatically when ORDER_LINE has been repeated seven times.
(ORDER_LINE can be repeated seven times before the screen is full.) You
need to use a save field as the counter to determine the number of times
ORDER_LINE is repeated; this save field is initialized by a field in
ORDER_HEAD, and incremented in the initialization phase of a field in
ORDER_LINE.
Action
Press MAIN/RESUME to display the Main Menu; use option S--add a save
field; press ENTER.
On the Save Field Menu, name the save field LINE_COUNT and specify that
it is data type of DIG with a length of two digits as shown in Figure
7-16. Press ENTER.
