What type of output? A display file? No. HTML? Yes. An internally described printer file with O Specs? No. An externally described printer file? Yes, use AFP (Advanced Function Printing) DDS keywords like FONT to a printer that supports HPT (Host Print Transform). Chris

Hi Chris, Is there any way to convert ospec into a printer file? Bryan

[bgoettl@postbulletin.com]

Is is possible to convert O spec to printer files automatically?

[Guest.Visitor]

Yes it is with a product from GUMBO called RDA. This utility is also great for laying out reports via a WSWYG editor that mimicks SDA. (What RLU should have been.)

I have been trying to use the CHRSIZ key word with no luck. Is there something else that I need to do? Bryan

Is it possible to increase the font size in output specs? Bryan

Check the fonts that are available for your printer. Only the Proportional Space fonts can use the CHRSIZ keyword. These are listed in the appendix of the CL Manual. In addition, you may also use fonts found in the GDDM library. These are all vector fonts, and may be sized to nearly anything. Dave
