Creating a line for printing
Hi All

I need to create a report and need some help on the formating side. In this report, I gather information from 2 different files and produce the line. I was looking at having a variable for the full lenght of the line with spaces and using the substr to put the right fields in place.

Is there a better way for doing this ?

Thx

J
