RE: Printer File Overflow...

I understand all of that.  But, the whole point of the question was not
about using the overflow indicator to control paging.  I am handling
that by limiting the number of lines I print per page.  This isn't
something I really have a choice on.  I am just trying to figure out why
the existing code is bombing when I try and print on the overflow line.
A redesign at this point is not an option.

I just thought I was missing something obvious and that someone might
know why I can't print on the overflow line without error?

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
