Hi
No error message? It seems to me that it is OK. There is of course limited
width for printout on screen (see GUI preferences/console columns), and
therefore everything which exceeds specified limits is printed on second
and subsequent row.
try
dim(form1) or str(form1) for evaluation of your read data frame.
Regards
Petr
