RE: 132 column printer static output

Yeah you do, instead of using a PF-DTA use a PF-SRC and SEU to edit the
text.  You can still read the file data using your print program.

Alternatively if the file is not externally described (or if you create
a document in the IFS) you can use the EDTF command to edit it - it's
not pretty, but...

Another option would be to create or edit a text document on your PC and
upload it to the 400...

All the best

on a more serious note, put them in a PF and read in program to print?

I have a 50 row, 132 column form with a lot of static text.

 

Specifying the static text is cumbersome since I can not figure out a
way to

program the 132 column fields in an easily editable manner. Is there a
full

screen editor that allows me to display the text as I want it? You guys

must have solved this a long time ago.

 

Does this question make sense?
