RE: Printer File Help

Hi Janell,

        I use named fields with overlays to process array output.
 D LineDs          DS
 D  Line                         65A   Dim(41)
 D  Cust                          3A   OverLay(Line:1) Inz('999')
 D  CatC                          3A   OverLay(Line:4) Inz('999')
 D  CatD                         22A   OverLay(Line:7)
 D  Ownr                         10A   OverLay(Line:29)
 D  PayT                          8A   OverLay(Line:39)
 D  #Sld                          6S 0 OverLay(Line:47) Inz(000000)
 D  Net$                         12S 2 OverLay(Line:53) Inz(0000000000)
 D  PTyp                          1A   OverLay(Line:65) Inz(' ')
 D  CusCat                        6A   OverLay(Line:1)

Line is a relative output spec.

To create prtfs I use Code Designer.  It is the berries.  ( and it seldom
crashes these days)

Subject: Printer File Help


I'm trying to teach myself how to use externally defined printer files.  I
have two questions for the list.

First, how do you (or can you) refer to an array element in printer file
DDS?  My current program uses an array to track monthly sales and I need to
print out the value for each month (i.e. the individual array elements).

Second, can you recommend a good reference(s) for creating printer files?
I've been working with IBM's DDS Reference, but it couldn't help me in this
situation.

Thanks!
