What, exactly, is the DBPRINT env supposed to contain? The Aubit4gl manual
says this:
DBPRINT PRINT/RUNTIME/REPORT
Printing command Name of command to use to pass report out-
put when executing reports defines as START REPORT ... TO
PRINTER
I have tried setting this variable to different printers (np4174, np4172), but
the output always goes to np4172 which is the system default printer.
DBPRINT='np4173'
I have tried setting it to an enscript command (
DBPRINT='enscript -B -d"np4174" --font=DejaVuSansMono@12
--download-font=DejaVuSansMono --margins=18:18:18:18'
And the report still goes to np4172.
Additionally, all I ever see on the report that is printed on np4172 is the top
line. The rest of the page is blank.
If I print to a file and then pass that file to the enscript command given
above then the report is printed properly on the selected printer.
How is this supposed to work?
