Hello

I am transfering clipper code to XBase, I use code line:
DCREPORT FORM CATL2  XBP NOEJECT NOCONSOLE FOR SUBSTR(SUBCAT_NO,1,1)=MAINCD 
TO PRINTER WHILE inkey()!=K_ESC PRINTER @oPrinter

After this line I have DCPRINT ?

I always get error for any DCPRINT code line following DCREPORT CODE LINE.

Please give me a help.

Hmm...I've never used DCREPORT FORM...but I have used DCPRINT.

The only thing that comes to mind is that DCPRINT is being used before 
the printer object is initialised (that's normally done with 'DCPRINT ON 
TO oPrinter').

The other question is whether these two commands can actually be used 
together.

Are you using form type printing for the main work and then completing 
it by adding some lines on the end?  A little more info may help...

Have you tried asking on Rogers Webboard...there is usually someone 
there that has used these commands.

Hi Joy,

you need to use DCPRINT OPTIONS first, check the docs for DCREPORT FORM,  
there's a good example in there.

DCPRINT OPTIONS sets up an array of print options that you pass to the  
DCREPORT FORM command.

HTH,

Stu.
