kj, if you mean the 2 blank lines between the top of the html table and the beginning of the table (above the HEADING actually), this command
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
just before your style sheet works, most of the time; its squirrelly, tho.

HI Susannah!!
If I am right, KJ is not asking how to remove the blank lines above the heading.
KJ is asking how to remove the blank lines between the Column TITLE and the first line of Data display.Am I right KJ?
For an example following code generates the report
-MRNOEDIT BEGIN
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
*
HEADING CENTER
"CAR REPORT"
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF
-*ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
END
-MRNOEDIT END

as follows
CAR REPORT
COUNTRY CAR MODEL
------- --- -----
---here is the blank line---
ENGLAND AAUDI abccc


Tried with ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD, but it deletes the lines above the heading CAR REPORT including line contains the page number too.
It would be of great help if I can get a code which deletes the blank line after the TITLE.

The "space" is not a blank line but space left over from the underline.

Krishnan you are right. I am trying to get rid of the blank lline between heading and first line of data. In HTML we could do it with CSS. But am looking for a solution for PDF.

Thanks,
kj

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have the same issue right now with wanting to get rid of the blank line between the header and the column titles in PDF.

I tried removing the line under the column titles and a blank line remains. The only way I found to remove the blank line is to turn off the column-titles and put them in the Page Heading...

CAR AS ''
BY COUNTRY AS ''

HEADING
"CAR REPORT"
" "
"COUNTRY <+0 CAR "

Thanks! However, as far as I could tell, that only moved the "problem" blank line from between the header and the column titles to be between the column titles and the data.

Maybe you can try something like this

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY CAR MODEL BODYTYPE SEATS
HEADING CENTER
"CAR REPORT"
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-COLOR=WHITE,$
END
