> SET REPORT DEVICE DISC NAME ANYNAME
 
This will create an ASCII file on the HP3000 in your current group with the
name ANYNAME.  You might have to put PICTURE clauses on your NUMERIC items.
 You might have to adjust the page width like:
 
> SET PAGE WIDTH 200
 
If you want to build a record bigger than 255 chars, you will have to build
a subfile.  The major drawback to this is that you will have to manually
convert your numerics to ASCII in your program with DEFINEs.
 
You might also want to do some other SETs like:
 
> SET NOHEAD NOCLOSE
> SET REPORT SPACING 0
