Hi,
I have used foxpro 2.6 a lot for data conversion and data analysis and use the list command heavily for one-off reports. I have attempted to convert to VFP 6.0 several times, but the formatting of the data on the screen / printer makes it useless. It seems to pad out fields very wide, so the data wraps around into a confusing mess. I have poked around trying to fix it, but can't find the magic incantation. Is there a way to make it list like foxpro 2.6?
An example would be: 'LIST OFF fname,lnams,phone'. In 2.6 you get 3 nice columns, in vfp6 the fields are padded out and the lines wrap around.
I hope its just a "SET"ing that I am missing. Thanks.
