RE: Printer File Overflow...

Dane you can remedy this issue by going ahead and adding the FSPEC
OFLIND(indicator).  You don't have to use the indicator, but it will
prevent the error message from occurring (If I recall correctly).  The
other option was suggested that you change SPACEB to SPACEA.

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
