X when printing the source listing. SKIP statements have no effect on the

X SKIP1

X Specifies a single blank line to be inserted in the source listing.

X SKIP2

X Specifies two blank lines to be inserted in the source listing.

X SKIP3

X Specifies three blank lines to be inserted in the source listing.

X SKIP1, SKIP2, or SKIP3 can be written anywhere in either Area A or Area B,
X and can be terminated with a separator period. It must be the only
X statement on the line.

X The SKIP1/2/3 statement must be embedded in a program source. For
X example, in the case of batch applications, the SKIP1/2/3 statement must
X be placed between the CBL (PROCESS) statement and the end of the program
X (or the END PROGRAM header, if specified).
