GETPTR is a function that returns the current setting for the specified print unit. I use the following code as needed to change and restore the default printer (unit 0) in UniData: SAVE.PTR = GETPTR(0) EXECUTE "SETPTR 0,..." ... EXECUTE "SETPTR ":SAVE.PTR:",BRIEF" The first EXECUTE sets whatever I need, and the second restores it. The ",BRIEF" parameter is added to avoid displaying and having to confirm the changes. --Tom Pellitieri Century Equipment Toledo, Ohio ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
