Patti -
Many of us faced this problem years ago when we converted from R:BASE for DOS to R:BASE for Windows. One solution, if you can work with PDF documents rather than a TXT file, is to purchase an R:BASE Add-on called R:PDFMerge. It's relatively inexpensive and makes it easy to combine multiple reports into one master document. You can get more info at < http://www.rpdfmerge.com/>.

We were required to duplicate some existing reports for the state and really the only way I could do it was to process data, print to file, process data, append to file, process, append, etc. My code looked something like this: (Fetch and misc select counts and other code) output filename.txt print ReportName1 output screen (misc select counts and other code) output filename.txt APPEND print ReportName2 output screen (New Fetch and misc select counts and other code) output filename.txt APPEND print ReportName1 output screen (misc select counts and other code) output filename.txt APPEND print ReportName2 output screen and so on... Now with the new Print Command syntax, I can't seem to append to the file I'm building. These reports end up being anywhere from 200 pages to 1000 pages. Can anyone tell me how to keep appending to my file instead of writing over it?
