Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
SYMPTOM(s):
Using OUTPUT TO <filename> PAGED followed by DOS PRINT <filename>
Extra page prints each time a report is sent to the printer.
OUTPUT TO <file> PAGED extra formfeed with DOS PRINT command.
CAUSE:
Expected behaviour
FIX:
Two methods of accomplishing this are found below.
1. Use a DOS COPY <filename> LPT1 instead of the DOS PRINT statement. The DOS COPY doesn't eject a page thus preventing the trailing formfeed.
2. Capture the desired output device to LPT1 and use OUTPUT TO LPT1 instead of the OUTPUT TO <filename> statement.
