• 

This command button will print the reports in succession directly to the default printer. As each report selected comes in line to be printed, a printer dialog box will appear (Fig. 63), generated by the operating system of the local workstation. Here you may select the page range to print, the number of copies to print, or change to a different printer.

Selecting this command will save ("print") the report to a file in ASCII text format instead of printing a hard copy. A dialog box will appear (Fig. 66) to prompt for a DOS pathname and filename for the report to be saved. Reports that are "printed to file" may be manipulated and formatted by other software programs, such as a spreadsheet.
