You say you have the PRINTER FILE command in your output processing.  Do
you have something that protects it from being executed for every record?
(You only want to do this once.  The @ONCE event is a good place for such
things.)

You can also eliminate the PRINTER FILE command entirely, and use the "-p"
flag to *report to direct the output to a file.

(BTW, you should check with gmail to see how to get it to use your real
name, rather than "scooter6", on the "from" line.)
