Hello, alkots!

If you use
SET DEVICE TO PRINTER PROMPT

you can select a different printer orientation and many other printer
settings.
You may also want to look at SYS(1037).

Use the keyboard command to do the selection. It is a bit hokey,
but it does work.

Portrait:
keyboard "{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}o{enter}" clear
sys(1037) && Kludge: This form will flash, but too bad.

Landscape:
keyboard "{tab}{tab}{tab}{tab}a{enter}" clear
sys(1037) && Kludge: This form will flash, but too bad.

Hi Gene

It was a good way, instead the form flashed

Thanks

What happens if you Set Console OFF temporarily ?

If you do this, it is wise to include Set Console ON in any On Error
procedure :-)

Nothing. set console does not affect the display of the form.
Yes, I did try.
