Thanks Scott This is exactly what I was looking for. It seems so easy, it is hard to believe that I did not think of it myself. Thanks again. Whatever the negative discussions. This site rocks. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Mildenberger [mailto:Smildenber@Washcorp.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 11:29 AM To: 'JAVA400-L@midrange.com' Subject: RE: Rich Text Format We are working on an application that use rich text format to allow users to view spool files in a browser. It uses Net.Data and RPG/CL but you could use the same techniques. We created a rtf header file by creating a document in word and saving it as a rtf file and then using Notepad to delete from where the document text starts to the end of the file. We create the document in Word as landscape with 1" top and bottom margins with a font of Lucinda Console 8 point. Then when outputting the output you copy this header file then append your text with the rtf formatting codes. Below is the Net.Data function (we got it from Ignite400's forum) that reads a PF created from CPYSPLF with the *FCFC option and outputs the data in a rtf format retaining the formatting. If you need any help interpreting the function below you can e-mail me privately.
