I'd do what Cindy recommended and use FCREATE, FPUTS and FCLOSE to create ASCII text files that contain the reports that are wider than the VFP report generator can handle. You have to do your own line counting and insert char(12) for form feeds, etc.. PADL, PADR and PADC work great for formating lines of data.
Also, I created a 'greenbar' custom page in WP and when the pgm finishes generating the ASCII text file I give the user the option to fire it up with WP.
This way I can make it as wide as I need and use WP to select the non-proportional font size that will squeeze it onto the greenbar paper.

>I have a report that runs in FP for DOS 2.5 that about 240 characters wide. It prints to greenbar 14 7/8 x 11 paper and works great.

I believe this might have something to do with Windows spool since when using it from a DOS machine I actually just mapped the network printer to lpt1 instead of setting up a printer. I set the printer up as "Generic Text" (since that is a dotband printer) and set the page size as the correct "US Standard FanFold 14 7/8 x 11". Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
