After using the same procedure (exporting to a text file) for many years with no alterations part from a Windows 10 update,  I've just encountered the following error message "Physical page size exceeded. Please check header, footer, or margins."

As this is an export, I'm not actually printing anything, and therefore no header, footer or margins are set up.

Can you help?  I'm using DataEase for Windows Version 6.10 (32 Bit).

This is my procedure:

for BadgeStock

with Print Stock Label = yes and

QuantityHeld > 0 ;

list records

Class in order ;

StockSerial ;

Description in order ;

Detail in order ;

Reference ;

Crown in order ;

Type ;

Value.

export to "C:\Users\Ian\Documents\DYMO Label\Labels\baglabel.txt".

.form header

"Class","Serial","Description","Detail","Reference","Crown","Type","Price"

.items

"@f[1,1]","@f[1,2]","@f[1,3]","@f[1,4]","@f[1,5]","@f[1,6]","@f[1,7]","@f[1,8]"

.end

Further to my query, I've just realised that I had inadvertently opened an older version of DataEase.  I have tried the procedure using LegEasy 6.53, but the problem remains the same.

Hi!

This export stuff in DFW 5.x - 7.x is not the best solution to put it mildly...

The main "point" in 6.53 is for things to work the same way in x64 as it did in x32 so if you have got the same bug it is "as designed..."

However it is not very helpful.

The problem is most likely related to the fact that even though you don't use the body for output it is still there and the page size does not match the default page size for your system printer. 

I guess what you can do to test is simply to copy the text and create a new DQL to test if the problem goes away. If not the problem is simply your Default printer to try to change the default printer to another printer.

All the best.

Thank you.  
After a lot of messing around, I set the Print Options to 'print to Window' and the export then worked as previously.

Hi again Ian.

That makes sense.

This import stuff is really not that well thought out and definitely not well implemented.

This is rectified finally in DE9 where you will be able to export from DQL (You have been in DE8 via ExecDQL too) the same way as in the olden days.

You will also be able to run DQL's without any output generated at all, printing directly to PDF without any special installation and you will also be able to print size to fit and ignore overflow and much more.

I've been using DataEase for 30 years, initially when I worked for St John Ambulance National HQ, and more recently as a single-user. 
I'm comfortable with 6.53 and have learned the lesson of "if it works, don't fix it".   
Having said that, I might consider an upgrade.  What are my options and upgrade prices?  DataEase does what I need it to do so I'm primarily a 'user' rather than a developer.
