This is a bug in the 1.1 release and will be fixed in the next. I was
thinking that you could just call printField with the output from
your z2R Jython procedure instead of having to call it separately and
select a Display type.

>P.S. Where does the output file go?

It will go to a filename called "foo", probably in the IDV_1.1 directory.
If you want to specify where the file goes, then set your formula
to be:

printField(a, user_Filename)

and it will prompt you for the file name before continuing.  If you
want to set a default filename, then use:

printField(a, user_Filename[default="c:/foo.bar"])
