Merge - {PRINT} Command Prints Up To A Certai |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer is trying to use the {PRINT} merge command while merging into columns (e.g., field one in the first column, field two in the second column, etc.) He is working with a very large secondary file, and when he merges, his computer runs out of memory. To try to alleviate this problem, he puts a {PRINT} command after columns are turned off, and a {PAGE OFF} command is inserted. This results in printing only one line of text at a time instead of one page at a time. The operator informed the customer that the {PRINT} command only prints text merged up to that point; it does not print page by page. Solutions: The {PRINT} command is working correctly. The customer just needs to make the primary file smarter. One suggestion is to have the primary file first count to a certain number of records to be brought in and then have the merge issue a {PRINT} command once that amount of records were merged. This will work unless the records are different in size. |
