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. --Paul E Musselman PaulMmn@ix.netcom.com >Hey all, > >We are considering changing the size of the continuous forms printing >paper from 11 inches per page to 8.5 inches.
