Re: SCS writer

[Glenn Holmer <gholmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nuts! I had this working, but when I folded my test program into the
production code, it broke.  Naturally, I didn't save the test program...
What happens is that it's form-feeding to the size of a standard
green-bar form instead of the 18 lines I want (mailing labels). Can
anybody see what's wrong with this?

parms = new PrintParameterList();
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_HOLD, "*YES");
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_SAVE, "*YES");
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_MEASMETHOD, "*ROWCOL");
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGELEN, 18F);
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGEWIDTH, 40F);
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_OVERFLOW, 18);
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PRTQUALITY, "*NLQ");
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_OUTPUT_QUEUE,
                    "/QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB/PRT01.OUTQ");
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_SPOOLFILE, "CUSTLBL");
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_USERDATA, "Catalog");
try {
   // args are system, options, printer file, output queue
   out = new SpooledFileOutputStream(weyco400, parms, null, null);
   writer = new SCS5256Writer(out, 37, weyco400);
   // writer.setVerticalFormat(18);
   v = database.getCustomersForSalesman(salesman,
                CatalogDatabase.SORT_ZIPCODE);
   for (enum = v.elements(); enum.hasMoreElements(); ) {
     cc = (CatalogCustomer)enum.nextElement();

     writer.write(cc.getCompany());
     writer.newLine();

     writer.write(cc.getAddress1());
     writer.newLine();

     if (!cc.getAddress2().trim().equals("")) {
       writer.write(cc.getAddress2());
       writer.newLine();
     }

     writer.write(cc.getCity() + ", " + cc.getState() + "  "
                + cc.getZipCode());
     writer.newLine();
     writer.endPage();
   }
   writer.flush();
   writer.close();
