The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS
When the ? command is used in conjunction with SET PRINTER TO FILE or SET PRINTER ON to print the contents of a memo field, the last line of the memo field is lost in the printed output.

CAUSE
When _WRAP is set to .T., FoxPro for MS-DOS does not flush output until a SET PRINT TO command is issued.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following two methods:

 Issue SET _WRAP = .F. (the default setting). -or- Issue a SET PRINT TO command immediately after the ? command that prints the memo field.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FoxPro version 2.5 for MS-DOS.
