Suppress Blank Detail Lines

This option applies to reports based on multi-line Views. For information about multi-line Views, see Constructing Multi-line Report Views.

You can create more attractive reports by suppressing blank detail lines. This option helps to produce neater reports constructed from files that have blank fields.

For example, a file that lists customer information may have several lines for a street address, but one or more of them may be blank. The uneven number of blank lines may appear distracting in a report.Use the Suppress Blank Detail Lines to have Analyzer skip blank lines in printed reports. To use this option with a multi-line report, do the following:

1. Right-click in the View and select “Print Report” to display the Report dialog.
2. Check the Suppress Blank Detail Lines checkbox so that blank detail lines will no longer appear in the report.
