Is there a way to force a column break between or (even better) in a
tabulate enviroment?

\startcolumns
\starttabulate[|r|p|]
\NC Fieldname \NC FieldValue \NC \AR
...
\stoptabulate
\column
\starttabulate..
\stoptabulate
\stopcolumns

Does not work. Nor does putting the \column inside the tabulate (e.g.
....\NR \n \column \n \NC...., which I would prefer)

Any hints?

A related question:

Is there another way to insert something like a narrow blank line in a
tabulate? I tried using \LR and \FR, and it looks good,  (\DC...\DL  is
way too much space), but for generating the output and for adjusting the
space I would long for something like \blank[dimension], e.g.
\blankline[dimension] Is there such a beast?

Thanks, Mathias
