You shouldn't need to change the "print &crn" line, because the extra space
is happening in the "get_instructors" procedure and not in "print_crn".

I'm fairly certain that somewhere else in "get_instructors" you have a
(+1,,) position specification.  If at any point you move "down the page",
the following NEXT-LISTING will take off from that lowest point.  (Don't
forget to check any procedures that get called within the begin-select.)

Also, you can get rid of the NEXT-LISTING and replace it with a 
  position (+1)
line.  This will move you down the page without resetting the
"top-of-listing" coordinates.  Depending on what else you are doing (i.e.
whether you like to use relative or absolute co-ordinates), this might be
better.  (You'd use NEXT-LISTING if you use absolute co-ordinates.)

Hope this helps.
