Hello,

this is the code i've been trying to execute. A lot of it conributed by roboticus in a previous post.

 
$mr_date = localtime();

 
open FS, ">mmonthlyfancy.doc" or die "Can't open file";
 
format FS =
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  @####  @<<  @<<  @#  @######  @#####  @<<<<
+<<<<<<  Rs.@####.##  ~
$consname, $consno, $subdvn, $tow, $phase, $chequeno, $receiptno, $dat
+e, $amount                   
 .                            
 
 format FS_TOP =
   @||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||  Pg @<
   "MONTHLY METER WORKS REPORT",        $%
    Date  @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
           $mr_date
           
 Consumer name  CN.  Sub. TOW  Ph.  Chq.no. RN   Date Amt.

                                            $fb_rp_1_tot

     }
       
     my $dofh = select(FS);
         
     $~ = "TOTAL";
         
     select($dofh);
         
     write(FS);
     
     close(FS);
