The reformat definition makes it possible to change the page breaks of an *SCS spooled file.
It is intended for *SCS spooled files, that contains documents for different customers with
detail lines. The reformat will create a new *SCS spooled file with new page numbers within
each document, rearrange text for each detail line (and following text lines) and e.g. even call
a user exit program to include advanced calculations for each new detail line.
