Thanks, but the output will have to printed, so creating an HTML report will not be a good idea.

The user is going to write the report using PUT commands. That way they can do whatever they want.

How do you say "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"?

If you have version 9.3 you might be able to use BLANKLINE and STYLE to make a wide blank line that otherwise looks like 2 blank lines.

BLANKLINE= nBLANKLINE= (COUNT=n <STYLE= [style-attibute-specification(s)] > ) specifies to insert a blank line after every n observations. The observation count is reset to 0 at the beginning of each BY group for all ODS destinations. n | COUNT = n specifies the observation number after which SAS inserts a blank line. STYLE = [ style-attribute-specification(s) ] specifies the style to use for the blank line. Default:DATA Tip:You can use the BACKGROUNDCOLOR style element to make a visual distinction between observations using color. See:The STYLE= option for valid style attributes. Example:Selecting Variables to Print

On z/OS if you are writing ANSI CC you could modify CC post PROC PRINT. The performance may not be to you liking.
