Re: on-break causes blank lines to be inserted

I never know that you can do an on-break for a print statement.  I have
always use the on-break mechanism on a column in my begin-select statement.
Have you tried to do it that way instead? I think that way, you will have a
better picture of what's going on with the data and the breaks.
I have only coded SQR programs for less than a year... but many times have I
feel like I'm going insane because of it!
