By default 4GL reports use newline characters to pad the bottom of the page to move the paper through the printer. You can change this to use FORMFEED characters and set a pagelength that will be OK on any printer. In the report module in the OUTPUT section add: PAGE LENGTH 59 TOP OF PAGE "^L" -- That is <carat>L not <CTRL>-L Art S. Kagel
