quick 'process selection'

There are several ways to select or filter records for output.

I think that the two most common ways are using a filePro
selection table (those defined using extended selections) and/or
writing your own selection processing table.

If you are filtering against fields on which you have automatic
indexes built, you can really improve on speed.  Selecting all
records and then filtering those records within the actual
printing processing table is not always a good idea (although
some times an unfortunate must).

Try using an extended selection table or a processing table to
filter your records whenever possible.  If you need assistance
on how to use either of these, just let us know, I am sure you
will get a lot of code samples ... 

Like John said on his post, if it comes to selecting the record
within the actual printing processing table, using the "print"
command is the way to go.  Be careful, I think I've noticed odd
behavior when using the "print" command and =### subtotaling ...
