Is there a way to triple space reports? A report was requested of us with additional space to allow more signature room.

Thanks,
Jackie

Your best bet on that one is to just increase the TOPGAP/BOTTOMGAP which increases the amount of space between lines. These are set in the stylesheet and are described in your documentation.

Another option would be to add a subfoot at your lowest sort level and then
ON BYFIELD SUBFOOT
" "
" "

or 
ON BYFIELD UNDER-LINE
(but I guess the last one only gets you double spacing. oh well.)

Jackie,

Does that mean that you want to have 2 blank lines between each report line? Or just at some sort break? Is your output HTML or PDF?

Yes I'm looking for 2 blank lines between each detail line. And I guess I failed to really mention that I'm doing this in batch on our mainframe in Focus 7.3.3 on MVS. Our HR dept wants a paper report with enough rooms for a signature on each line.

Hope you can help me out with this!

Jackie

Jackie,

Make sure you have sort phrases (BY) that will uniquely identify each record. Then add a SUBFOOT to the last BY phrase.

Here is an example using the CAR file:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT RCOST DCOST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
BY BODYTYPE
ON BODYTYPE SUBFOOT
" "
" "
END


Thanks!

Depending on your output format you could also just increase the BOTTOMGAP of each line.

Here's an example for PDF output format.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT RCOST DCOST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
BY BODYTYPE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, BOTTOMGAP=0.75,$
END


Thanks!

You can use Mickey's suggestion or

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON CAR SUBFOOT
" END

WHERE 2 Is the additional number of lines you want to skip. If you dont have any unique sort fields, you can:

DEFINE FILE CAR
SPC/A1=' ';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
OVER SPC
OVER SPC
END

And if all else fails, create a computed 'blank filed' and put in a fold line after the last variable or use over, in combo with skip-line.

New feature request IB have skip-line have a numeric option. Music
