Ext Print Files - In the Beginning

Good Day,

I am just starting on Externally described print files and my first attempt is not very satisfying.

The code below prints generic heading and then detail lines (if any).

The 'Write HEAD' executes but apparently is writing something weird. If I 'Write Head' enough times to trigger overflow, I get a
halt that tells me I did, but I suppose failed to handle it properly. So it writes something.

If I have detail - the detail prints fine and when I look at the spool entry - no output visible by 'write head'.

If I have no detail ( but 'write head' executes ) - the spool file exists but it won't let me browse, print, or copy the entry. I assume it put out
something - trash maybe.

In Addition, If anyone could point me to a good explanation of handling overflow, that would be nice.

Thanks
