Poor guy. If they can't use the variable length data they can't be very professional. ...big snip... >Line number 267 merely contains a reference to one of the field_21 >within the "print" section of the code. It ought to work if you put in two or more print statements with each but the last ending with a ; so you get no newline but on the last print statement. Also you probably don't need to set your right margin at all, but if it is necessary it should be set to the length of the printed data, not the rowsize. Your printed data will need more space than that.
