Re: problem printing report with overlay to legal landscape

Alan,
I'm glad that my off the mark suggestion was able to help you get to where
you needed to go. I think a handshake will do just fine, haha.

Re: problem printing report with overlay to legal landscape






BRYCE
if you were in front of me, I would kiss you FULL on the mouth.
Your suggestion did NOT work, but I changed my google search to FONT(*CPI)
+ AS400 and came up with results that were different than I had previously
obtained
The change I made was

PGM PARM(&PBNUMX)
DCL VAR(&PBNUMX) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)
DCL VAR(&PBNUM) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(7 0)
CHGVAR VAR(&PBNUM) VALUE(&PBNUMX)
OVRPRTF FILE(PICKLGL) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) PAGESIZE(8.5 +
14 *UOM) LPI(12) CPI(20) DRAWER(1) +
FONT(222) FRONTOVL(AXSLIB/PICKLGL4) +
OUTQ(WPPGMR6) COPIES(1) SAVE(*YES) +
SECURE(*YES)
CALL PGM(AXSLIB/ORD220LGL) PARM(&PBNUM)
ENDPGM

Changing the PAGESIZE to define it in units of measure instead of rows and
columns seemed to do the trick
I now have ALL of the data being printed the FULL width of the page
Now I have to play with the LPI and CPI to make it fit

Sorry, should have looked at the command before I replied...

Try replacing FONT(*CPI) with an actual value instead. I'm not an

expert

on this since I only create a printer file a couple times a year, but I
think I had played with this value and the page size to get it working
properly. My printer file was a (81 127) with FONT(222). I also had
LPI(7.5) and CPI(18). I don't exactly know all the ins and outs of

how

these values correlate to each other and this was months ago, so take it
with a grain of salt...
