I'd probably add

SET REPORT SPACING 0

to suppress QUIZ's default behaviour of putting two spaces between report items.

Thank you very much for this advice.  XML generation using QUIZ is

simplicity itself now that I am reminded of the SET NOHEAD option.

SET NOHEAD also turns off automatic page ejection.



In case anyone else has a similar need in future, the QUIZ code

looks more like this in our application:



REPORT                                                              &

SKIP 01   TAB 007 '<ACCOUNT-DETAIL>'                                &

SKIP 01   TAB 009 '<BILLTO-ACCOUNT>'                                &

SKIP 01   TAB 011 BILLTO-ACCOUNT OF ACCOUNT-DETAIL                  &

SKIP 01   TAB 009 '</BILLTO-ACCOUNT>'                               &

SKIP 01   TAB 009 '<TAX-IDENTITY>'                                  &

SKIP 01   TAB 011 TAX-IDENTITY OF ACCOUNT-DETAIL                    &

SKIP 01   TAB 009 '</TAX-IDENTITY>'                                 &

.  .  .

SKIP 01   TAB 007 '</ACCOUNT-DETAIL>'





Works like a dream.  Of course, the excess space between tags has to

be handled by the xml document processor. However, the ease of

coding and additional clarity achieved in the resulting data file is

worth the added complexity in the downstream processing
