>>>>My users needed to send a report no to the screen or printer but to a file, and then have that file mailed to them so the can distribute it through out the department. I had no trouble creating the report and mailing it, but I have not been able to send the characters needed to perform a page eject when I will to have the next data on a new page. can anyone help me solve this. Currently I am using the following method:

>I'm confused. 1. Are you mailing (physical) or e-mailing ? 2. If you are e-mailing (I think you are) then... Is the text you created going into the body of the message or as an attachment to the mail (sounds like attachment). 3. If this is an attachment, Why not send in body of message and let e-mail handle printing/pagination. If sent as attachment, can this be a report to form ascii ?

there is no report to form ascii in 2.6...
