Re: Chainging pagination of spoolfiles

I don't know if this will help at all, but here is what I think it should
look like. This is not tested and I have not used any of the network print
classes before.

list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_MEASMETHOD, "*ROWCOL");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PAGELEN, 10F);
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PAGEWIDTH, 10F);
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_RECLENGTH, 10);
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_OVERFLOW, 10);
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_CPI, 20F);
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_LPI, 20F);
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PRTDEVTYPE, "*LINE");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PAGE_DEFINITION, "*NONE");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_ALIGNFORMS, "*FILE");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_ALIGN, "*YES");

return spooledFile.getTransformedInputStream(list);

Maybe this link will help a bit on what kind parameters need to be used for
each PrintObject constant.

Now that I look at your original post though, it sure looks like that code
should work.

Hope this helps a little at least.

Hi Thorbjørn

add the following parameters :
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_MEASMETHOD, Cast("string",

"*ROWCOL"));

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGELEN, Cast("float",

Arguments.LinesPerPage));

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGEWIDTH, Cast("float",

Arguments.ColsPerPage));

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_RECLENGTH, Cast("int",

Arguments.ColsPerPage));

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_OVERFLOW, Cast("int",

Arguments.LinesPerPage));

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_CPI, Cast("float", 10));
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_LPI, Cast("float", 6));
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PRTDEVTYPE, Cast("string", "*LINE"));
//The printer data stream type. Valid values are , *IPDS, *USERASCII,

*AFPDS, *LINE.

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_PAGE_DEFINITION, Cast("string",

"*NONE") );

parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_ALIGNFORMS, Cast("string", "*FILE")

);

//Valid values are *WTR, *FILE, *FIRST
parms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_ALIGN, Cast("string", "*YES") );

Thanks Bob!

I tried converting the above (is it C#?) to Java by pure guessing and
ended up with

PrintParameterList list = new PrintParameterList();
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_MFGTYPE, "*WSCST");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_WORKSTATION_CUST_OBJECT,
"/QSYS.LIB/QWPDEFAULT.WSCST");

// http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l/200807/msg00010.html

list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_MEASMETHOD, "*ROWCOL");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PAGELEN, "10");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PAGEWIDTH, "10");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_RECLENGTH, "10");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_OVERFLOW, "10");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_CPI, "20");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_LPI, "20");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PRTDEVTYPE, "*LINE");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_PAGE_DEFINITION, "*NONE");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_ALIGNFORMS, "*FILE");
list.setParameter(SpooledFile.ATTR_ALIGN, "*YES");

return spooledFile.getTransformedInputStream(list);

(and also with having an F trailing the float values) but apparently
without any change in the output.

Suggestions anyone?
