Hi.

OpenVMS V7.2-1
QUIZ   (PowerHouse  8.20.D)

I am having trouble suppressing blank lines in my report. I have 10 fields 
that I print at the bottom of my report, one per line. Only the first 2 
fields have data, the other 8 are blank. My code produces 9 lines, 2 with 
data and 7 blank lines. Its as though NOBLANKS is suppressing the first 
blank line only. Any suggestions?

My Quiz report is as follows:

SET REPORT NOBLANKS
REPORT &
... other good stuff ...
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC1 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC2 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC3 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC4 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC5 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC6 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC7 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC8 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC9 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF &
  SKIP &
  TAB 1 EXTRA-ADD-DESC10 OF FIN_3PA_INV_EXT_SF

Thanks,
Jim
