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.
When using the COMPACT mode, large forms that by default do not fit to the screen can be displayed with less space between elements.
By default, forms are displayed with COMPACT spacing.
