RE: Printer File Overflow...

You shouldn't have to have to keep track of the line # that you are
printing.  That is what overflow is for.  
Just make sure that the detail record format does have more than "page
length - overflow line + 1" lines.

In you program, simply do:

If overflowed
Write heading
Eval overflowed = *off
Endif

Write(e) detail
Eval overflowed = %error

This makes sense.  I would love to see what line in the printer file I
am actually on when the write occurs and not rely on my line number from
the file.  But, I will experiment with this a bit and see how it works.
Thanks!

Dane,

 One thing to look at is using SPACEA instead of SPACEB.  As you're
writing the line SPACEB is incrementing the line *before* the write, so
you're probably going into line 61.
