There are a few thins to check on the spool file.
1. Spool file must have RPLUNPRT(*NO) or non character data will be converted to blanks.
2. escape sequence starts at beginning of a print line

If these aren't the problem, send the relevant porions of the code to the list, and we will look at it.

I am needing to embed a PCL escape sequence into a COBOL/400 report.  It seems that no matter what I do, the escape sequence prints out as a literal on the report.  Does anyone have sample code or a reference indicating how this can be done? Thanks in advance, Robert E. Burger
