True enough. Or you can specify carriage control option %320 and the spooler will suppress the CR/LF. The effect is you can string as many characters together as needed without regard to the 1008b byte limit. Here is the exact COBOL code I use to download a macro that is stored as 80 byte records on an MPE system to a Laser Printer. CALL INTRINSIC "FWRITE" USING SIGMACRO, SIG-RECORD, \%50\, \%320\. Doug.
