Re: on-break causes blank lines to be inserted

["Kulshrestha, Alok" <ALOKKULSHRESTHA@IMF.ORG>]

This happens, if you print variable exceeds the page width. In first case ,
you have the $ClassDesc and $desc printing within the page width and it
doesn't insert a blank like, but in second case it should be.
Try to keep the print string up to the page width. You can find the maximum
column by using #SQR-MAX-COLUMNS reserved variable.

Hope this helps you!
