The SKIP statement allows you to insert blank lines into report output, or to skip to the top of the next page, as if you had included an equivalent number of PRINT statements without specifying any expression list. The LINE and LINES keywords are synonyms in the SKIP statement.

The SKIP LINES statement cannot appear within a CASE statement, a FOR loop, nor a WHILE loop. The SKIP TO TOP OF PAGE statement cannot appear in a FIRST PAGE HEADER, PAGE HEADER, nor PAGE TRAILER control block.
