>I am trying to maintain some code that was written in FP 2.6 for Macintosh. The problem is that whenever a single page is printed the printer prints out the page plus 2 blank pages. Where can I found the option for page length or page eject? Also, on an addtition I just made -

I never used FP for Mac, but I assume it is the same as for other platforms: open the report file (MODIFY REPORT) and look in the Report menu. I think there's a Page layout option.

Also, take a look to _PLENGTH system variable in the Help.

>I SET DEVICE TO PRINTER and then several @ says and then SET DEVICE TO SCREEN. THe problem is that it won't print out the page until the user exits the program. If I follow the above with EJECT, I get a warning that this will cancel the previous print job, do I want to continue. If I say yes it prints the page, plus 2 blank pages. If I say no, it just gives me the same message again until I say yes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, this technique is old and not so good. Use the report generator instead. Also, try SET PRINTER TO instead of EJECT.
