question using a menu script

[Ian Wood]

Why not give them the menu option to print their report, then give them the
option within that menu option to choose destination?

Hit F5 on the menu line to create a batch file and put something like this
in:

@echo off
cls
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo                        A. Print Report To Printer
echo.
echo                        B. Print Report To PDF
echo.
echo.                       X. EXIT
echo.
echo.
choice /c:ABX
if errorlevel 3 goto end
if errorlevel 2 goto PDF


\fp\dreport your_file -f report_prt -u -a -v report_sel  ..............

goto end

:PDF

\fp\dreport your_file -f report_pdf -v report_sel  ..............

goto end

:end
