RE: Spool file blues

Thanks, that worked. Is there an easier way to figure out the location of
where I want my text and lines other that a rough guess?

Mike,

we had this same problem on some of our overlays too.

Just play a bit with the offset down/across for the overlay, as it could be
printer-related.

Let me explain what happened to us:  we used an overlay that started at
position 0,0 (left top) of the page, and it looked OK on screen (AFP
Workbench viewer), but when we printed it, the overlay was shifted to the
right and down, while the printed data (from the RPG program) was messed up
as to position, attributes and so forth.

When we shifted the overlay down and right a bit, everything was allright.

Apparently it has something to do with the 'unprintable area' of the Xerox
printer we use.

HTH,

Subject:  Spool file blues


I am not sure if I can explain the good enough or not, but I will try.

I have a spool file that I am creating. I want to attach an overlay on the
file, using a M$ Publisher document. This I know how to do (per
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/199912/msg00970.html and another
source). I have the spool file working great and it looks good. However, as
soon as I specify *AFPDS, the spool file is all goofed up! Some fields
overlap others, some of runs off the page, and the line spacing is off by up
to 2 lines. What could be doing this? I have done this on another spool file
in the past and it has worked just fine. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any ideas,

Mike
