SKIPPING

Syntax: SKIPPING number-of-lines
Placement: Place the SKIPPING command before the REPORT command.
Discussion: The SKIPPING command allows you to double-, triple, or quadruple-space your reports.

Follow the SKIPPING command with the number of blank lines you wish to have between the printed lines of the report, as follows: 

  SKIPPING 1        ! double spacing
  SKIPPING 2        ! triple spacing
  SKIPPING 3        ! quadruple spacing
In multiple-line prints, the SKIPPING will take effect after the final line of the group. The lines within a group cannot be double- or triple-spaced.
History:: In Release 97.05, the skipping logic was changed so that it's not executed until after the first record is processed. Also, the skipping logic will be executed before the grand total line is printed.
