How to insert a blank line every so many records
For some reports, it is desirable to insert a blank line after every
so-many records, e.g. for readability of the list:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Account name Date Amount █
│ ──────────────────────────── ──────── ────────── █
│ General & administrative 93.01.01 427,00 █
│ Software development 93.02.01 2180,00 █
│ Printing & advertising 93.02.15 738,25 █

In order to group on a number of records, create a calculated field whos
value changes after every n records:
REC_GROUP = int((recno()-1)/n)
Change n in the number of records you want a blank line after. The
composite record number recno() is unique for the total report. Normally
you would use the recno() function to retrieve the current record number
of a file in the report.
