Does VDFQuery not support breakpoints on XML output as expected.
I have a

Customer
\
Invoice
\
Detail

structure which I can add an ad-hoc index and breakpoints to which will
print preview as
Customer header
Invoice Header
Line details

as expected

When this is output to XML it is only a flat 1 level break

Hello Chris,

I'm sorry, but I didn't see this post before today.

XML output from VDFQuery is always a "flat file business". It is assumed
that the XML is processed by some mechanical device and therefore
(redundant) break info is not relevant.

Ok Thanks After I posted this I thought about it and realised it would be
hard to build generic hierarchy management into VDFQuery
