dash


Explanation:
Here is the explanation of the term I found out:

Buchhalternase

Buchhalterknie, Vakatstrich; die Sperrlinie zur Unbrauchbarmachung von leeren Zwischenräumen in den der Buchführung dienenden Büchern und Kontoblättern gemäß § 239 III HGB.
zurück

(aus: "Gabler Wirtschafts-Lexikon,15.Auflage 2000")

So it is really more than just a "dash", but I think in English you don't have any legal description of how to use a "dash".
