MAIL: Printing Mailing Labels

MAIL lists customer names and their addresses for mailing labels.

Table Details and Type

Report Heading

"Customer address labels".

Field Processing

Fields are normally printed across the page, like this:

          Barnes J       Townsend House
                         Little Downham
                         Pymore

In field processing, you can specify that the field is folded. This causes printing to continue at the beginning of the next line, as in:

          Barnes J (folded)
          Townsend House
          Little Downham
          Pymore
