Hi there're 2 ways.

1. U can use ORACLE Reports by calling the Reports module with the forms built_in RUN_PRODUCT(rep_file,..,..,..);

or

2. for direct printing Look at the TEXT_IO Package.

   with this package yiu can use the open_file,put_file etc functions    to print directly on a port you've not to specify a file rather your COM port your printer is assigned to . Received on Mon Sep 21 1998 - 10:34:40 CEST
