RE: [sqr-users] print

Tim,

However using a routine is a lot slower than just putting the "if" around the 
print and it also makes assumptions about the print itself (location, 
attributes, etc.).

Now I feel dumb for not thinking of a subroutine.  Thanks, Tim.

How about something like this (untested):

begin-procedure print-unless-blank ($str)
   if not isblank($str)
     print $str (+1,1)
   end-if
end-procedure

...

   print $address1 (0,1)
   do print-unless-blank($address2)
   do print-unless-blank($address3)
   ! etc...

Regards,
Tim
