Hmm... @...SAYs are typically hard to maintain, it can be difficult to determine the numeric parameters to put information where you want it and you may have to print to a file or use manual spooler control in order to get it to print reliably. If you can live with these, @...SAYs might actually be an option for you.

If you don't have too many data elements to print, you could create a report with fields at *every* possible location then use the Print When function appropriately.

If it's something the end user will do just a few times you could include the Report Designer (callable from the runtime) and let them design their own reports.
