Hi Buck

OK, that kind of thing has been on our minds.

The separator page - if using the PRTF or OUTQ or maybe even the DEVD setting, it's possible for the printer to refuse to print them - so I suppose that would need to be part of a PRTF - and with the DRAWER() keyword, maybe, eh?

Thanks
Vern

statement of those invoices - separate programs
If you could pack these two business functions into a single program,
the DDS DRAWER() keyword would do exactly what you want. Pull invoices
from one drawer, statements from another. If separator pages are
desired, they can come from a third drawer.

An alternative is to slightly alter the printing programs to print
papers for exactly one customer. They get called by a driver that feeds
customer numbers one by one:
CALL DRIVER
FETCH NEXT CUSTOMER
CALL STATEMENT (customerID)
write DRAWER1
...
CALL INVOICE (customerID)
write DRAWER2
