Could you not split the field into 2 80 character fields and print the 1st 80 on the first line and the 2nd 80 on the net
OR
If possible
Find a space in the text near character 80 (on either side) and split the text that way

Subject: [EXTERNAL] AFP print file
Is there any way to define a field that is longer than a print file is wide?
Case in point.. I have a printer file that is 100 positions wide. I added a field using a variable width font (i.e. fine print at the bottom of the document). When filled, the field data goes about 60% across the page. Because of the font size, I could easily make this field 160, but RLU won't allow it.
Any way around this?
