I have made a program with a printroutine.
I use DBIII+. I use set device to print and device to screen.
Also set talk off. and set confirm off. When my menu is on my monitor and I give choise 4 in the menu the printing starts. The output is oke.
But where i put the 4 in the menu I get al lot off printingcaracters ( not out my databasefile) but codes on my screen. I also see them when I print from the promt.
What do I have forgotten ?
greetings from the netherlands,
anthony.

Try adding set console off just after the set device to print and set
console on just after the set device to screen. See if that helps.
