Re: changing paper size company wide.

If you issue an OVRPRTF command somewhere in the job that does the printing
you will be able to change the parameters to use 8.5" tall paper.

You can specify the 8 lpi and the new lines-per-page.  The transition from
66 to 68 is not a problem; your reports will leave a couple of extra blank
lines on each page.

We used to handle this by using a routing program in the batch subsystem.
We used a data area named for the user profile running the job to control
whether or not to use the print override.
