SYMPTOM(s):
An extra page is printed when using OUTPUT TO <file> PAGED with DOS PRINT command
CAUSE:
The DOS PRINT command will always generate a final formfeed at the end of output. Progress also embeds formfeeds in the generated output when the PAGED option is specified (or implied by use of OUTPUT TO PRINTER).
FIX:
Although this solution is written with specific references to the DOS operating, it is applicable to UNIX / LINUX operating systems subject to changing of the DOS command-tokens to their UNIX / LINUX counterparts.
The output of the extra page can be avoided by using a DOS COPY <filename> LPT1 instead of the DOS PRINT statement. Another alternative is to first capture the desired output device to LPT1 and use OUTPUT TO LPT1 instead of the OUTPUT TO <filename> statement.
