Hi,

When you use abstract command , it will display summary of event based on maxline settings. Like it shown in attached example screenshots.

Also refer:

Sorry to ask foolish question what is use of maxlines , I don't see any changes when maxillae is set, if is to restrict lines but i don't see line is getting restrict.Thanks
