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.

from: Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 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? -- --------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.Martinvt.com
