This statement determines whether the blank lines created using WRITE
are displayed. If the addition ON is specified, all subsequent lines created using WRITE
statements are written in the list. If the addition OFF is specified (default), all subsequent lines that contain only blanks after a line break are not written to the list.
Notes
Blank lines are suppressed regardless of the formatting of the output. Lines that contain only empty checkboxes or input fields are also suppressed.
Blank lines created using SKIP are independent of the statement SET BLANK LINES. They do not contain any output.
Example
Output of a text file loaded from the current presentation server as a list. Blank lines are respected.
