Could someone help here?

I am not sure why the spooled results I'm getting is alternated by blank rows of cells.

Maybe your column values are wrapping and you have RECSEP set to WRAP. Or perhaps you have RECSEP set to EACH. Try SET RECSEP OFF before your query.

If you're still getting blank lines between rows posting your query and a sample of your output would be a good thing to do.

wow, you're good. I wish I had gotten your response 3 hours earlier. I spent a couple hours just to debug it and it turned out it was really due to the fact that recsep was set to a value other than "off". I set recsep to off and it worked. I was so glad it worked after all.

I found another problem. But it'd probably be easier to explain if I paste you the code and maybe attach the output when I get back to the office on Monday.

Thanks so much!
