Printing multiple records on a form

Quick question:  In my purchasing dept, they are wondering about printing a 
purchase order# (multiple entries/records) from within dclerk right after they 
enter the record/records.

They are wondering about having filePro "remember" their previous PO# and then 
ask if they want to print all the items on that PO#.  We can't use "form" 
because of special printing and processing needed on the output form.  I made a 
simple prompt for the PO#, then a system call out to dreport to run the output 
process to print their particular purchase order (and assorted items).

The above method works, but, they are curious about a simpler method.  I 
explained that you can't be in a particular PO# and try to call out to a system 
command for dreport, because that record is in use.

Has anyone ever printed purchase orders (all items/records) easily from within 
dclerk, and not running into the record being in use?

Thank you for any suggestions.
