I need my report to have certain columns in certain orders, and I need to insert a few columns that are just blank. I've got other data fields that are numbers and dates.

Is there a simple way to define something and just have it return a blank column in the report?

Thanks!

Is this what you're looking to accomplish?
DEFINE FILE CAR
BLANK/A1 = '';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
      BLANK
      SEATS
BY CAR
END
