I am printing using the routines from p234.ew. I am trying to print =
columns.When I print the first column of addresses and then print the =
second column , it drops down a line before printing the second column. =
I then go and print the first column again=20
I am using these commands -----
setPosition( Printer, colx, lineCount*fontSize[2])
wPuts( Printer,eachrec )
This the code
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
---
--putlist into table
for z =3D 1 to totcols do
thisrec =3D thisrec + 1
if thisrec <=3D totRecs then
-- get one ' line' of text
dataline =3D getItem(List1,thisrec)
get_pchunk()
=20
--position text on line rec 1 page
pline =3D append(pline, (Ple[1] & " " & Ple[2]))
pline2=3D append(pline2,(Ple[3] & " " & Ple[5] & " " & Ple[6]))
pline3 =3D append(pline3,(Ple[7] & " " & Ple[8] & " " ))
zz =3D z
end if
end for
--check to see if tab le item exists
if zz =3D 1 then
totcols =3D 1
end if
-- get one 'printer line' of text
pagewidth =3D (floor(charsPerLine/totcols)) * h_space
linec =3D lineCount*fontSize[2]=20
-- select starting column
for prtcol =3D 1 to totcols do
if prtcol =3D 1 then
colx =3D 10
else
colx =3D 1000 --(colx + (pagewidth * prtcol) )
end if
-- place item to print
setPosition( Printer, colx, lineCount*fontSize[2])
--move printer to position on line
for thiscol =3D 1 to totcols do
wPuts( Printer,pline[prtcol] )
end for
-- print second line of info
lineCount +=3D 1
for thiscol =3D 1 to totcols do
-- if pline2[prtcol] exist then
--limit second line to 25 columns
if length(pline2[prtcol]) > 25 then

You appear to have coded:

and then:

Try using linec and only incrementing lineCount on each row.

Thanks,
I reviewed my code and found the error, bad name problem.
Your review helped me to review my code.
