Bernie,
As you know, there are Multiple Ways to Skin the Cat! (that is also the presentation topic of Wayne Erickson at the conference) http://www.rbase.com/conference
You can achieve your goal of transmitting pre-formatted data to any agency, as specified, by simply creating a report in R:BASE 7.0 Report Designer, set all parameters for "Print to a File Setup" and then use the following PRINT command:
Example 01 (Plain Text File):
PRINT ReportName ORDER BY ... WHERE ... OPTION TXT + |FILENAME C:\Temp\MyReport.TXT|OPEN ON
Example 02 (Report Emulation Text File):
PRINT ReportName ORDER BY ... WHERE ... OPTION ETXT + |FILENAME C:\Temp\MyReport.TXT|OPEN ON
Looking forward to seeing you at the conference!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.

Razzak, If I then add to the end of your macro with: out printer type textfile.txt out screen
I get the same result. Lines A & B print on the same line If I add write ' ' between the two lines I get 2 lines but no blank line between them.
These are merely instructions on how to transmit their Wage Detail Reports to the state via internet. I auto launch the site but they need instructions on what to do next. I guess I can live with putting an extra write statement between lines. I don't use that feature very much.

See ya at the conference!
