behaviour of save qualifier to on-break

[Mainoo Smith <mainoo.smith@NOMURA.CO.UK>]

i am confused by the workings of 'on-break' and its 'save' qualifier.
is it the case that the variable supplied to save is initialised with
the first occurrence of the break field even BEFORE an on-break occurs?

from what i can see the first occurrence of a field that has on-break set
does not trigger the on-break command yet the save variable is set
during the processing of the first occurrence. the on-break command is
triggered for the first time on transition from the first to the second
occurrence.

thanks
