If you are using PC_PRINT_FILE on Windows then you do not need to place the file in the C:\ root directory in order to print it. What is the name of the file that you were trying to write to? If the filename contains a space character then you will need to enclose it within quotes when creating it but in PC_PRINT_FILE you would just leave it as is but set the filename-len parameter to the actual length of the filename. The docs for PC_PRINT_FILE specify that the name is space or NULL terminated but that is not true. Example:     select test-file assign to '"c:\my folder\printfile.txt"'.   * double quotes enclose name surrounded by single quotes params used in PC_PRINT_FILE 01 filename-param.          03 filename-len          pic x(2) comp-5 value 26.          03 filename              pic x(256)          value 'c:\my folder\printfile.txt'.
