Re[2]: changing paper size company wide.

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Jeff, be careful with this. He'll need to modify and recompile any 
     program that sets FormLength and OverflowLine (that's an L spec in 
     RPG). I'd also look for HLL programs that set OVRPRTF via QCMDEXC 
     as these might need to be changes as well.  
     
     just .02,

Richard,
First, you do *not* have to recompile any programs.  The system uses the
number of lines per page and overflow line in the printer file to determine
page overflow.

Second, you would have to change all the system printer and user printer
files for the new form size.  I don't know what the effect on printing on a
laser printer would be.
