printer file "name" - problem

[Dennis Malen]

Problem: In order to create a PRINTER FILE "/tmp/anyname" I am using the 
processing below. The initial problem was that I had to take out the 
definition of the current printer in the report form I was using. I could 
not keep the definition and override it with PRINTER TYPE "nocodes". I could 
get by that problem (but its a pain to copy over the report format and take 
it out).

The next problem that arose is that when I viewed the file that had been 
created each record selected was a full screen. I then changed the number of 
lines of the report from 64 lines per page to one line per page. I also 
changed the heading so that only one line appeared. That worked fine. I 
don't think that is how PRINTER FILE "anyname" was intended. I should be 
able to create a viewable ascii file without having to do what I did.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???????
