Hi Booth,

If you use a standard monospace font to draw the boxes, you should be able to specify code page 259 when needing to execute the line draw function and then return to your usual code page (probably 037 or 1140) when printing other required text.

FGID 11 - Courier 10 CPI
FGID 85 - Courier 12 CPI
FGID 223 - Courier 15 CPI

All three of these choices should work correctly with code page 259 line draw.

HTH

I have a H/P inkjet printer attached to my PC.  I want to know if it is
reasonably possible to let the iSeries auto-define the printer, and

allow me to print a box and/or lines with an externally described printer file?

If so, what is it that I am probably overlooking?  Any ideas?
