Sami:

I can't see how the LISTOF function would help me.  Yes I can
retrieve the values of a single column into a variable.  But I
need to display a table with multiple columns:
   John Smith      1/1/93     This is a test
   Mary Jones      12/31/94   This is another test
                                that might wrap to 2 lines

I could grab each 'column' in a separate LISTOF, but there would
be no way to reliably show the 3 variables side by side because
something could go to more than one line.

The LISTOF function only lets you grab data from one column.
If I could do something like:
   (LISTOF( ljs(fullname,20) & ljs(ctxt(date),10 & test)

With the number of tables being accessed by this report, I think
the only 2 options available are to continue doing it in DOS so
I can print multiple reports to a page (or in Windows printing
to a file but losing formatting)  or  have the report printed by
other software that supports 'subreports'.  At the April conference
I mentioned that as my #1 request for reports, Razzak & Alex said
it was doable, but unfortunately not for 7.0, maybe 7.1
