TitleQTIPS - Using INIT.VIEW with Printers
KeywordsINIT.VIEW
@VIEW.MODE
PRINTER
TextAl Blake at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge recently
asked "how do I work INIT VIEW WITH the printer?" This is a problem
infrequently seen so for the benefit of those who have not encountered
it If you make a call to INIT VIEW and set @VIEW MODE to 1 screen
output will be paged a la LIST command (REVMEDIA passim) If in the same
program you subsequently turn the printer on and print to it corruption
occurs: the screen flashes the heading and a box is sent to the printer

After initial experimentation involving SETTING @VIEW MODE to 0 it was
eventually found that SETTING @VIEW MODE to null ("") or TRANSFERing
@VIEW MODE to a dummy variable (which accomplishes the same result) fixes
the problem

* Finish screen output
@VIEW MODE = ""
PRINTER ON
* etc

This is interesting as it implies that the person responsible for testing
@VIEW MODE at RevTech is not USING a boolean (IF @VIEW MODE THEN) check but
is USING a length comparison (IF LEN(@VIEW MODE) THEN)
