I have an RPG program that is creating a spool file with an Overlay. The
overlay is basically boxes to make sections on the page. There is one
format in the PRTF with BOX and POSITION keywords, which appears in the
page footer area.

When the program finishes, I release the spool file to a network attached
laser printer and it prints with the boxes and characters aligned.

When I convert it to a PDF and save it to the IFS via CPYSPLF and
WSCST(*PDF) option, I do get a PDF, but the boxes and characters are not
in alignment anymore. It appears that the characters are too high by one
line and about 4 positions to the right too far.

The PRTF is compiled with these parameters: DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) LPI(7.5)
CPI(10) OVRFLW(66). The OVRPRTF in the CL also specifies the Overlay and
PAGRTT parameters.

Has anyone else experienced this? Our development system is on V7R4 with
fairly recent PTFs.

Thank you,

Doug
