I have been using SAS for about 10 years and have never had a problem printing my output (just the *normal* output, not talking about HTML). All of a sudden, the 'lines' have turned into 'fffff'. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot or fix it?
thanks

The special character for the lines in the SAS monospace font is that fancy "f" in courier new. Either switch the font, if you can, or look up the formchar option. It can be used to change the characters for printing tables and lines in output.
