APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Creating a print statement sets the selected text somewhere in SPSS Statistics, but it does not appear in the Viewer nor does it appear when the Viewer contents are exported. Neither Word nor pdf shows the header or footer. Looking at the Page Attributes dialog AFTER running the program, the header and footer are reflected there. If the end-user presses 'OK' on the dialog window with those contents, it is then reflected in the Viewer.
