Printer file - revisited

[Dennis Malen]

Jose,

It is within the processing because we offer 4 options as to how the report 
is to print. They can print hard copy, write to the file to save, excel 
format, and lastly e-mail the report.

We are a UNIX shop.

If you have command "printer type" within your code and you
do not want to execute it for all instances of your report,
then by all means, do make it a conditional statement.

I hope you are setting your printer target and type only once
and not every time you run through a record.

Why set this up within the printing process instead of within
the command line?

Are you a *nix or windows base shop?
