If the PRINTER commands in your processing are not overriding the
printer defined on the output format, then the only thing I can
think of is that you're not actually executing the PRINTER commands.

Have you tried the simple MESGBOX test that I suggested yesterday?

If the page length is set to 64 lines, I would expect 64 lines per page.
Are you generating a page break somehow between each record?
