Does mainframe = AS/400 in your equation?  Assuming it does...

If the big question is "why don't blank lines show up when viewing printer
output on a display", then the answer is that DSPSPLF (Display Spool File),
or option 5 on WRKSPLF, never shows blank lines.  Blank lines will, however,
print appropriately on paper.  If you are unable to print to paper, and need
to see blank lines when viewing a spool file, you will need to do some
programming to accomplish this, and avoid the DSPSPLF altogether.

Something else to keep in mind...  When doing any overprinting, including
underlining text, DSPSPLF will not show all of the overprinted line.
Usually, when underlining text, the text disappears and the underline shows
on the display.

Hello everyone,

Would it be possible for me to print from my PC (windows 98) when I am
working on the mainframe to print out reports, etc. I am using
Host-on-Demand 4 for access to the mainframe (as/400 v4r4).

Even if I was in the computer lab, there is no printer attached to the
mainframe system. The reason why I am asking this is I have been dealing
with vertical printer spacing issues.

After the QPRINT file has been placed into your output queue, you view the
contents of this file, there are no vertical spacings. This is what I would
like to be able to somewhat resolve.

This inquiry is for my cobol and rpg iv classes. What I am dealing with now
is learning how to arrange headings, detail lines; vertical spacing issues.

Currently, I am using the ADVANCING (before & after) option for spacing
lines. Everything that I have attempted to make vertical lines show
correctly, doesnt make a difference in the output.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Eric
