1908.0. "Printing lables using Cardfiler data?" by CXCAD::CHAMBON (Chuck Chambon, 719-632-8413) Wed Dec 13 1989 21:04

I have structured the entries in Cardfiler much like a ROLODEX.  I want to 
select certain information from the entries and direct them to a local printer
or direct them to a file which I can send to a local printer.  The purpose
for all this is to make labels for the mailing of Christmas cards and the like.
It seems that I have seen this information somewhere before, but I have been
unable to rediscover where.  Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Chuck

	Cardfiler appears to have a printing capability. By the way, Rolodex is a trademark for a card filing system, and not a generic term.

	The cardfiler can print a card or all of the cards. There is no print to file option but ... If you do Print... instead of print, when the options dialog box is put up a temporary print file has been created (in sys$scratch:dwcard_print.tmp on VMS and /tmp/dwcard_print.tmpxxx on Ultrix where xxx is the pid of the cardfiler). You can copy the file before executing the print (its automatically deleted afgter printing) and do whatever you want with it. Neal

	Here's more info on the Rolodex cards. After copy the file in sys$scratch to a file you can use. Then edit the file allowing for 14 lines from line 1 of one card to line 1 of the next NEBS , NEW ENGLAND BUSINESS SERVICE, TOWNSEND, MA PRODUCT # 9950W, 800-225-9550 This printed all my cards on ROLODEX.
