Hi:
I do not know, but I remember that with reports 2.5 you do not use the character drive anymore? Maybe I am wrong You can investigate the the following parameters: MODE='CHARACTER'
DESTYPE='FILE'
DESFORMAT='dflt'
DESNAME='myfile.txt'
Note that you can create your own 'DESFORMAT' prt file. Copy ..ORA??\REPORTS25\PRINTERS\dflt.rpt to myformat.rpt and modify it. Regards,
Mabel
