RE: Question about Cobol code


Message:
Based upon the code you displayed, coding "after advancing 2" should give you your double spacing.

Message:
Hi saqmantha,
Depending on whether you want to have blank lines at the start of the print or not. If you use BEFORE ADVANCING 2 you print first and then advance 2 lines, while AFTER ADVANCING 2 would advance 2 lines and then print.
