I have been trying to print a snapshot of the screen after a report has been run. I've tried using the printcapture command but can't get it to work correctly. Is there a way to capture the current screen to the printer?
 
Part of my problem is that the screen gets repainted instead of redisplayed, and this has detered me from using the printscreen commands. Also because sometimes I need to issue a command, while other times I just need to print the screen, depending on the response from the controller.
 
If you want to print just the current screen, then you can use the "sbsave printer" command. Otherwise, to get print capture to work, you must first issue printcapture on then follow that up with printcapture off when you have received all the data.

Thank you very much! It worked perfectly! I tried the printcapture commands before, but the screen redraws in a way that when I issue the printcapture command a second time, it only gets part of the screen! But the sbsave printer command worked very well! Sorry if my question seemed stupid, but I have no access to the ASPECT help or samples that are supposed to come with procomm, my company didn't install them or deleted them! So I'm working off of this forum and You guies have been a tremendous help! THANKS!
