If you are producing a DISPLAY file and you want a blank line then output a CRLF (for Windows or LF for Linux).
On the otherhand, if you want a line filled with blanks then open the file EXTERNAL, with the requied line length and print your V 256 (or whatever length you want) or print V 1 and you will srtill get a 256 of whatever length your specified record is, line.
A display file truncates any trailing blanks.
