Download my package, 4gltools_ak, from the IIUG Software Repository. Among the modules there is prntscrn.c & prntscrn.h which provide 4GL screen dumps compatible with the 7.3x C4GL curses usage. It provides a C callable function prints to a file pointer which can be opened by the caller. There is a 4GL callable caller there also in fgl_prtscr.c which takes a variable argument list (so the calling 4Gl must be compiles with -z) to print to the default printer, named printer, named file, or a pipe.
