Would somebody help me with making text report ? Since it is my first working with dot-matrix printer,officially, the only thing I can rely on is just 'Trial-and-Error' following posted threads. Anyway so far so good to generating text file but I have a couple of problem.

1) In detail band of report designer there are four (data) fields which have same property setting. But if converted into text file,two of four fields doesn't appear while the rest two are pretty good. What did I miss ?
2) The paper is the 80-columns continous(tracker) style(I'm not sure what the official term is but hope you would catch. I want the Page header of report should repeat the beginning of each page. How can I do that? Does it related with _ASCIIROWS ?
3) Finally I haven't tried this, what is the best way to generate 'TEXT FILE LABELS' ? If you are a programmer with more than 10 years of experience of COBOL or BASIC, it seems to be a piece of cake to you; I had a few legacy COBOL App of which purpose is mostly for labels; multi columns and sequence is like zig-zag and no line feed till the end of printing.

Please let me share your wisdom.
