I played around with the ASCII clause, using a wide report which prints landscape. It kept truncating characters, no matter what value I used for ASCICOLS(). It may work for you if your reports are simple, but don't expect too much. When I return to the problem of printing reports to files, I will probably abandon the report writer and start automating Word or Excel.
