Hi Paul,
A way you could do it not quite as quick as Dave's method would be to
create a simple report with a detail line that goes to the page width
(field called say cReptext) and set it to stretch with overflow. You
can then in a program have:
Private cReptext
cReptext = filetostr("c:\myfolder\myfile.err")
* set printer to default windows printer
SET PRINTER TO NAME SET('printer',2)
REPORT FORMAT MYREP TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE
This assumes the file is not too big, but a fairly simple solution.
