SYS(1037) *IS* backward compatible. The only change to this command is the addition of a 2nd optional parameter. Using the command without the 2nd parameter functions just as it did before.

This issue of having printer environment information in the reports is one that has been around for a long time. Any time it contains information, there's a risk of reports messing up.

>Thanks so much for getting back to me. I will download my customers' frx files and uncheck the environment box. Even if this works, this will cause me to have to postpone my upgrade, however, as all customers and all reports will be affected by this change to SYS(1037). I wish they could have designed a truly backward compatible report engine and let us slowly upgrade to the new one.
