Hi,


WRITE / ' '.
the above statement will not add a line .

so SKIP statement will skip the line to 2 from 1

then Write 'AAAA' comes in line 2.

AAAA will get printed in the 2nd line why bcoz u have given skip there.

Write:/ ' ' will not insert any blank line.

On Line 9.


DO 8 TIMES.
WRITE / ' '.
ENDDO.

Write 8 lines...


SKIP.

Skip 1 line....So we got 9 lines....


WRITE 'AAAA'.

Doesn't have a skip or "/" so, it's printed on line 9.

Greetings,

hi ananth,

if u write like this,

REPORT ZPGM NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DO 8 TIMES.

WRITE: / ' '.

ENDDO.

SKIP.

WRITE 'AAAA'.

the answer is 9th line because i mention here chain statement here ( at the write statemet,

if we write as u written then ans is second line.

reward points if helpful.

Because the default for BLANK LINES is OFF. Try:


SET BLANK LINES ON.
DO 8 TIMES.
  WRITE / ' '.
ENDDO.
SKIP.
WRITE 'AAAA'.

Seshu - I tried your code and it printed on the second line not the ninth..

I think the blank lines setting controls the printing in this case.

Hi,

I think multiple skip will not generate a blank line.
