>Update: I tried a test using dirprtclass, but I cannot find the CLSHeap.PRG. Where can I get it? It's not a part of dirprtclass.prg.

It's in the Files section - do a search on the word Heap, it's #986. You can also find it through my account profile, which lists my FAQ entries and downloadable files in the contributions section.

>Did I not misinterpret your description?

The class itself does not work with ? or @...SAY - there's a method that's the equivalent of ???, or as I suggested, send your print output to a file, and use the SpoolFile method to queue up the output as a raw print jpob without any GDI intervention.

>My problem is that I have some .frx reports, some .prgs that use @...SAY and some .prgs that use ??? to send text to the printer. All of them work EXCEPT the ones like EXAMPLE 2 below. I need to get example 2 working so I don't have to redo all of those .prgs IMMEDIATELY. They will be converted to reports later on, but there are too many to convert in my short deadline to get it working at least.

You can get this effectively using the native methods of DIRPRTCLASS - you invoke a class method rather than using ???/??/?
