You can use the 4GL ASCII command to generate any necessary characters, tho' you must specify the value in decimal instead of hexidecimal. For example, LET cont_code = ASCII 27 { escape, hex 1b; cont_code is CHAR(1) } PRINT cont_code, "M0" { print ESC M 0, assuming this is in a report } Regards, Alan +---------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | R.
