The @SAY and ?? printing works in VFP. It's a great feature when thousands of documents, like invoices or packing slips, need to be printed in a batch. I have many installs that rely on the @SAY feature.

There is the "???" inline control code function.

There must be some kind of "slew" escape sequence codes that would allow you to use "???" to send the command. Sometimes, on some types of printers, and I don't know why, a blank (" ") is needed before or after the ??? code is sent.

What kind of printer is it?

>We converted (actually VFP did it automatically) the DOS UB92 form (pink form) to VFP. The problem that we are having is vertical spacing. It is not allowing us to control the number of lines per inch that the printer uses. In DOS days you could send a control sequence to the printer to control that or you could specify that in the report layout. There doesn’t seem to be a way in VFP to do that.
