Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Programming Interfaces

Directing output to a printer

To direct output to your default printer, use the OUTPUT TO statement with the PRINTER option. Remember to use the STREAM-IO option in your frame phrases. STREAM-IO removes all graphical characteristics of the widgets, leaving just the textual data.

You probably also want to use the PAGED option of the OUTPUT TO statement to create neat page breaks.

Try modifying i-10-09.p to send the report to a printer, if you have one available. Alternately, add the PAGED option to the OUTPUT TO statement, run the report, and open tut-temp.txt in the Procedure Editor.

Notice that Progress redisplays the labels for the current frame after a page break.

To direct output to a printer other than the default printer, use the Printer (-o) startup parameter to designate a specified printer for the OpenEdge session. For more information, see the reference entry for the Printer (-o) startup parameter in the OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference .
