I'm using WF4.3.6 and SKIP-LINE does not live a blank line when creating a report in Excel. When I change formats to PDF SKIP-LINE does creates a blank line but not in Excel. I need to have Excel report does anyone know alternative to SKIP-LINE i could try?

Are you using the excel option not exl2k. excel does not save any of the formatting such as headings and perhaps also skip-line. We are at 5.3.4 and skip-line works in exl2k output.

If you can't get SKIP-LINE to work, try

ON column-name SUBFOOT
" "

As Leah mentioned, this will not work for format EXCEL, but will for EXL2K.

I'm creating a report and I'm holding this file into a specific excel name in EXL2K format. SKIP-LINE doesn't work for EXCEL only it works just fine in PDF.

How about providing an example we can run to show that what you want doesn't work?

This works on WF 5.3.2:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY MODEL
ON COUNTRY SKIP-LINE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=ARIAL, $
END

Francis the example you provided would not work in version 4.3.6 for EXL2K if I change EXL2K to PDF it work but not otherwise.

I was able to add empty line thanks for the help

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DATA1 AS 'DATA1'
DATA2 AS 'DATA2'
DATA3 AS 'DATA3'
BY DATA1 NOPRINT
ON DATA1 SUBFOOT
""
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=ARIAL, $
ON TABLE HOLD AS FILE1 FORMAT EXL2K


I have to add BY with out subfoot will not work.
