The EvDRE processing sequence is designed so that the formatting instructions of the Format range do not override the formats of the Before and After ranges as well as of the formatted sets. If some portions of the report are already formatted, the format instructions do not break the predefined formats.
When the system expands an EvDRE report, it processes the tasks in the following sequence:
Expands the member sets to apply (this includes the members of the formatted sets, if defined)
Performs suppressions (optional — based on the setting in the expansion or option ranges)
Refreshes data
Applies formatting instructions
Applies sorting instructions
Inserts Before and After ranges of sorting, with their formats
Applies formats of the formatted sets
Inserts Before and After-ranges of the expansions, with their formats
