I have a routine on appserver, that builds a barcode program (zebra's ZPL commands) needed to print a label. on client side I need to send to a barcode printer defined in text-only style. I've printer 5.5 millions labels on a client / server station. All I had to do was to: OUTPUT TO PRINTER VALUE(myPRINTER). //myPrinter is something like "\\station1\labelprtr" PUT UNFORMATTED ....blah blah blah OUTPUT CLOSE. // it is oversimplyfied the stuff I do to get the label, but this is a perfectly shaped working snippet now that I'm not next to the database, I got the string that make the label on a LONGCHAR from the routine.

Any hlp will be very appreciated
