If there is a field that differentiates the three files from each other, and it is a sort column, you could do the following:

BY COLUMN_NAME SUBFOOT

If you don't have one field already in each file that differentiates each file, you can easily create a field.

Put this compute statement in the first table file
COMPUTE FLD1/A1='A'
Put this compute in the 2nd file
COMPUTE FLD1/A1='B'
Put this compute in the 3rd file
COMPUTE FLD1/A1='C'

Then do what Francis suggests:
BY FLD1 SUBFOOT

Priya... it would probably help if you could tell us why you want to add a blank line between the hold files.... Sometimes your objective can be met in an easier way than the technique you are asking about.

What is your objective? What is your source? Why are you doing multiple HOLD files and want a line between them? What do you want to achieve?
