Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it. Tom, thanks for posting that
link; I had forgotten about that one, but I suspect it's a different
situation than what I'm seeing here. In that case the printer wasn't being
assigned when it should; in this case the PRINTER OFF in Unidata appears to
be
There is a KEEP option in Universe that will keep the spooler file open no
matter what you do in BASIC, until the PRINTER OFF and PRINTER CLOSE.
So maybe try:
SETPTR 0,132,66,0,0,3,NFMT,NHEAD,BANNER UNIQUE,BRIEF,OPEN, KEEP
Althought looking at that command there, maybe thats what OPEN does...
Actually I think I worded that wrong. KEEP in Universe will keep the same
spooler file open until you do a PRINTER CLOSE, or SP CLOSE, if I remember
correctly... Its been a while.

I have a client running an SB+ application who has been experiencing a very
strange issue with Unidata 7.2.8. The situation is a little complex, but
let me try to explain.
We have this program that issues this SETPTR command and then captures the
hold file number:
SETPTR
