The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

Using the EJECT command in a Program in FoxPro for Macintosh causes the following Message to appear:

   Microsoft FoxPro Sending this print job cancels the
   current print job. Proceed?

If you click the no button, the dialog keeps coming up. If you click the yes button, the dialog goes away.

NOTE: This behavior does not occur in Visual FoxPro for Macintosh.

RESOLUTION

You cannot use the EJECT command with Foxpro for the Macintosh. Use these two lines of code instead:

   SET PRINTER TO
   SET DEVICE TO PRINT

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
