Hi
I am trying to get this to work with one of my reports and YTDInvTot in
RRBYW14
and I get extra blank lines in the detail section.
Is there something in these reports that messes up the output?
This is a really cool feature and will be great time saver for my app
Thanks
Marc

Gary,
To simulate the DOS (Plain Text) file report, you will need to use the
"ETXT" (Report Emulation Text File) option in R:BASE 7.6 for Windows!
Here's how:
-- Example 01:
CONNECT RRBYW14
PRINT Contacts +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME ColumnarReport.TXT +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|OPEN ON
RETURN
You can also use the Database Explorer to print the report to a file.
When using the "Print to File" option, the default type is always .PDF.
However, you may select "Report Emulation Text File" option from the
drop-down list of supported types. Selecting the appropriate file type
will also assign the automatic file name with file extension accordingly.
You may overwrite the filename if you wish.
This will print the report as plain text file that can be edited using
the Windows NotePad (as defined above), or any word processor.
That's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
