SKIP1/2/3 Statements
The SKIP1/2/3 statements specify blank lines that the compiler should add when printing the source listing. SKIP statements have no effect on the compilation of the source program itself.
- SKIP1
- Specifies a single blank line (double spacing).
- SKIP2
- Specifies two blank lines (triple spacing).
- SKIP3
- Specifies three blank lines (quadruple spacing).
SKIP1, SKIP2, or SKIP3 causes one occurrence of double, triple, or quadruple spacing.
SKIP1, SKIP2, or SKIP3 may be written anywhere in either Area A or Area B, and may be terminated with a separator period. It must be the only statement on the line.
