Robert Lakin [75755,647] has shed some light on the printing to RAM problem. It appears that according to the Model 100 manual, it is not permissable to use a variable to define the USING format. At least all of the examples in the manual use a literal with USING. Anyway if you change the variables in the sample program to literals all appears to work okay. . Bob feels that the problem may have something to do with the 255 byte limit for RAM records. . ./DJH/ [71435,1465]
