Read the Shell-Variable DBPRINT into Your 4gl-Program, change it, when You want and use OUTPUT TO PIPE. I'm using this construction do print normal paper with hopper 1 or printer A and to print labels on printer B or with hopper 2. I use DBPRINT and a second Shell-variable DBETIK (Etikett is the german word for label).
