Just a SWAG, maybe the foxpro report has placeholders for data instead of fields, something like ###filed1### and so on and C++ program just replaces those placeholders with actual data from array. IF guess that LJ3 means Laser Jet III is correct than you can print that report to the file using Laser Jet III printer driver.

>One of the C++ programmers I work with was attempting to change a report on and old, old program and found the report was printed through a routine that merged the data, contained in an array, with a file named 'NHMCOVER.LJ3'. The only documentation present said that the .LJ3 file came from a FoxPro report format. We have the valid FoxPro report but have no idea how it morphed itself into the .LJ3 file.
