computer reduction in client access printer session

[Guest.Visitor]

I am having trouble with the computer output reduction. When I print RPG 132 column formatted reports the rows overlap. I have been able to correct this on queries i write by setting thier width to 140 columns, but this doesn't help me in printing out RPG formatted reports. any help??? dhay1999@yahoo.com

In addition to the width of the printout, you must also change the CPI parameter on the OVRPRTF statement. Try a CPI of 15. Dave

thanks, i'm changing the cpi in the *.ws file to 15. but there is no ovrprtf in the *.ws file. i might be able to change it on the spool file but i'm not sure. the reports i'm having problems with are the rpg 132 column formatted reports, not my queries, those i seem to be ok with

David, You are misunderstanding what the other David is telling you. The reason why your Queries are printing correctly is that Query/400 assumes that any page width greater than 132 should be printed at 15 cpi. So, to get the same effect in your report you have to do an OvrPrtF command before you call your printing program. You don't have to mess with the *.ws at all. It will see the font change command and pick the corresponding font for your printer. All you have to know is the name of your printer file. It is listed on the RPG "F" spec. Bill

The OVRPRTF should be in your CL Program prior to your application call. Dave

thanks for the info. I cannot change the cl for the print though. it is formatted to print on wide greenbar paper for other userers than myself, it was just easier for me to try and print it at my desk instead of waiting for operations to pull it off of qprint and distribute it. thanks!
