Hi Booth,
   
  In my experience when working with non-IPDS capable printers, the boxes and 
lines keyword typically uses Code Page 259 text elements to draw lines. If you 
view the Code Page online and find the drawing characters you need, you can 
actually perform the drawing by changing code page to 259, sending the 
necessary EBCDIC character values to draw your line or lines, and then 
switching back to your standard code page when finished directly within your 
program.
   
  This is what OfficeVision did automagically (not visible to the document 
creator) when a person requested a drawing symbol from its list of special 
characters.
   
  HTH
   
  Best Regards,
   
  /Paul

subject: Print a dashed line in a printer file

This can't be done, I am sure.  But when I am the surest is when I am 
the dumbest.

I want to print a dash line.  Not with text, but with the boxes and 
lines keywords.

Is it possible?
