I've done that in FPD (a roll printer on the counter in a restaurant) -
simply cleared the "eject before" and "eject after" in the report, and
made page length big enough. You may also try to completely omit the
page header and footer from the report, and keep all the header info in
group band (grouping by eof() is an old trick), but then I think it will
still issue formfeeds after _plength lines. I'm not sure what's the
maximum value for number of lines per report - you'd better try
File/PageSetup, but I doubt you'll find anything worthy there: it lets
you pick from available paper sizes. Probably you'd have to define some
custom paper (say 200 by 6 inch or so).
