The GROUP in this example steps through the records of a CSV file, merging the data into fields in a print file. Caching the static elements of the pages is not a requirement, but if the printer is capable of storing overlays, it improves efficiency.

<IDF UNITS="INCHES" PLEX= "SIMPLEX" PAPER = "A4" FONT = "Times New Roman" POINTSIZE = "12">

<INCLUDE FILENAME = "c:\escapee\users.csv" PAGE = "NEXT"/>
