Re: DBPRINT - REPORT TO PRINTER

Looking at the code - if you START REPORT .. TO PRINTER
it effectively does a START REPORT TO PIPE fgl_getenv("DBPRINT")

Do you have an A4GL_DBPRINT set overriding your DBPRINT ?
Have you exported your DBPRINT ?
If you run

main
DISPLAY fgl_getenv("DBPRINT")
end main


what do you get ?
