RE: Printing Issue: Would like to print from Windows

Eric,

I just re-read your post indicating that your using "ADVANCING".
I should have read it closer the first time (its been one of
*those* days...)  :(

Actually, you would have to change your code to do ONE
line advances - which you probably don't want to do since
your in a learning environment.

I used to do this to save paper and aid in viewing.  After I
was satisfied with the look onscreen, I would go back and
increment the ADVANCING phrases (and remove redundant ones)
before sending it to the printer :)

Sorry that I misled you...

If HOD works/looks like a normal AS/400 green screen, then
you could enter +1 the control field at the top of the screen
when viewing the spool file:

File  . . . . . :   QPRINT
Control . . . . .   +1
Find  . . . . . .

and watch the top right corner Page/Line counter. Each time
you press enter (with +1 entered) the Line counter will
increment X number of lines based on a real -or- blank line.

Terry

(who's finally leaving for the day)
