When might programmers use a control break program?

Accepted Answer

In particular, programmers use a control break program when a change in the value of a variable initiates special actions or causes special or unusual processing to occur.

As you read records, you examine the same field in each record; and when you encounter a record that contains a different value from the ones that preceded it, you perform a special action. For example, you might generate a report that lists all company clients in order by state of residence, with a count of clients after each state's client list.
