Welcome Nanci,

For something like this you would be better off using the OPEN / WRITE
/ CLOSE commands in SQR as these handle writing to flat files petter,
when you use the print functions you are subject to the rules defined
by a layout, print is mainly used in the creation of reports that you
would like formatted for printing out.
