Hi all,

This is similiar to a RLU question posted yesterday, but didn't see an
answer to it specifically, so here is my problem:

We are trying to create a very wide report, 275 characters (20 CPI, legal
size paper), but DDS cannot start a field past column 255.  It can print
past 255 as long as the field starts before 255.  Does anyone know of a
work-around on this?  The only thing I can think of is using a internally
defined printer file which wouldn't be the worse thing, just wondering if
there is an alternative.

TIA!
Rick
