Specifies an output destination for the report. To suppress status messages that appear at run time, include the NODIALOG keyword.

Or is meant to put in report's header band property [on entry]

IF WEXIST("Printing...")
  MOVE WINDOW "Printing..." TO -1000,-10
ENDIF

This moves the small window which is shown during printing outside the visibility on the screen.

Be careful about moving windows "off screen". There might be a second monitor "out there" and it can be on any side of the primary.

Having arbitrary status windows start popping up on the secondary monitor makes users giggle at you.

 

[Nifrabar]

You are right. I started using this 'solution' (possibly on advice from the forum here) over ten years ago when secundairy monitors did not exist for almost all users.
If the scenario you described might occur than possibly (-1000,-10) might be changed into (-2000,-500) or whatever values as long as that causes the window to 'disappear'.
