Yes, you are correct.

So, you don't really want it in record number order?  (Of course, at the 
moment, the bigger issue is why it's only printing one record per page.)

Run it without any processing, and see what happens.

If it prints multiple records per page, it's *something* in processing. 
(Anything like a PRINTER RESET command, or perhaps some other PRINTER 
command, that gets executed on every record, rather than only once?)

If it still prints one per page, then it's something in the output format 
itself.
