The SPACING attribute is a spacing directive to display form elements.
SPACING = { NORMAL | COMPACT }
This attribute defines the global distance between two neighboring form elements. In NORMAL mode, the front end displays form elements consistent with the desktop spacing, which is, for example, 6 and 10 pixels on Microsoft™ Windows™ platforms.
Some overcrowded forms may need to be displayed with less space between elements, to let them fit to the screen. In this case you can use the COMPACT mode.
By default, forms are displayed with COMPACT spacing.
