Creating Blank Fields and Blank Lines In Record Blocks

You can insert blank fields and blank lines in the record block to make room for handwritten notes or for graphic appeal.

To Create A Blank Field Inside A Record Block:

Enter BLANK nn as a field name, where nn specifies the blank field length in character spaces. The value nn must be an integer between 1 and 32, inclusive. A group of DRECLINE statements may contain a maximum of 20 BLANK fields.

To Create A Blank Line Inside A Record Block:

Use DRECLINE by itself (without a field name). The length of the blank line will match the length of the longest line in the record block.
