I ran some fast tests and couldn't get PH_PRINTER or DESTINATION to do
anything. However, the string option can be used to direct output to a
specific printer by using the network printer name which is typically in
the form \\node\name. We'll have to look into the other two.

Hi,
=20
I am in the middle of migrating a fairly large app from the
HP3000 to Windows. Fooling around with all the various ways to handle
printed output from QUIZ (8.41.D). I need to settle on a method for
re-directing printed output from batch jobs.
=20
I am wondering if anyone has any doco, or better yet a working
example, of the PH_PRINTER env variable on Windows. Can't figure out
what to set it to, or even if it works. Would be a nice option in some
cases if I could make it behave.=20
=20
I have a similar problem with the DESTINATION option of SET
REPORT. Anyone made this work on Windows? Output just keeps going to
the default printer regardless of what I try.
=20
Last but not least anyone tried SET REPORT DEVICE PRINTER
<string> - this one is in the migration guide. Not sure what <string>
should be. I did check my QUIZ reference manual, but it was not much
help. It mentions all these approaches, but that's about it. Where can
I find any doco on this? I am probably not looking in the right place.
=20
I sure wish Windows had file equations - so far this is the
thing I miss the most. Any help would be appreciated.=20
