Re: print line greater than 132?

check the printfile qprint on the system (typically, the qprint printer
file is in QGPL library) --- the base one is 132 characters long.

you can either:
      1.)   create a new print file in your library which has other
characteristics (and then put that in your program).
      2.)   put in a CL and OVTPRTF to those new characteristics (and then
run your program in the CL)
      3.)   change the QGPL prtinter file (which I don't recommend).......

List,

I am feverishly working on migrating and converting several COBOL programs
from VSE (mainframe) to iSeries. One problem I've come up against is a
program that produces a report with a print line greater than 132.
COBOL/ILE
allows it and it compiles fine, but at run-time I get a message about
truncation and I see in the report that the print line truncated at 132
characters.

Here are the COBOL definitions:

000990 INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
001000 FILE-CONTROL.
001010     SELECT PRINT-FILE1 ASSIGN TO PRINTER-QPRINT.
001020 EJECT
001030 DATA DIVISION.
001040 FILE SECTION.
001050 SKIP3
001060 FD PRINT-FILE1
001090     RECORD CONTAINS 133 CHARACTERS.

So what do I need to do to get a program to print a report with a print
line
wider than 132?  TIA!
