Obtaining XX from -PRINTER:XX



Oracle 7.3.4
SQR 4.3.2.2

Is it possible to obtain the current printer type being used???  We are
naming our reports from a parameter in an input file, but right now the
extension is hardcoded '.ps'.  I now need to output in postscript, pdf and
html, depending on the command line given via -PRINTER:XX, thus would like
to be able to obtain what XX is and apply the appropriate extension for the
report.  My current solution is to add -F<ext> to the command line where
<ext> will be .ps, .pdf, .html respectively and I can set:

let $rpt = $<var from file> || $sqr-report

since $sqr-report will have the value of -F, but this seems a little
redundant.

Any ideas???

THANX,
