How to insert a blank line every so many records

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.
