AREV Specific

Though a softkey we can print a letter from with a screen display.

For example, user displays details on a customer then prints the details out:
  printer on
  print ....
  print ....
  page
  printer off
When the screen resolution is 1024x768:
  My Computer -] Control Panel -] Display -] Settings
  Screen Area
doing the print causes ARev to jump out of the data entry screen, leaving the record locked but unable to save the record.

The PAGE command is causing the error. If the screen resolution is 640x480 the PAGE command does not cause a problem.

Is there any way to get the PAGE command to throw a page without exiting the data entry screen?

Use of FOOTING causes the message:
   Press Enter for next page or Esc to end listing
to appear on the data entry screen. Any way to suppress this?

Seems an odd set of events perhaps the heading footing options are not set correctly. Also try nulling HEADING and FOOTING at the end of print routine before turning off printer to press Press any key message.

As an alternative you could PRINT CHAR(12) which forces a form feed instead of using PAGE command.

Tony,

Thanks, the CHAR(12) works fine.

HEADING and FOOTING generate the 'Tap Enter to ….' message on the data entry screen, which looks messy and confusing.

Try calling Heading.Control("ABORT") or HEADING.CONTROL("OFF").
