Has anyone seen an issue with Pos=get_printer("POS") seemingly returning mm in Pos<2> when setting is inches. - it then rights itself later on in the processing.

the value was 230.1755 , should have been around 4.



cant see me doing anything unconventional



I actually put a debug in initialise routine after a set_printer("ADDTABLE" with a value of 0 for the append to just set the headers,



The value of 230 shows at this point also.



the following set_printer(s) have append = 1



The is a PAGEBREAK later on (which was forced because of the high value) after which it appears to right itself.

Classic version works as expected.
