You haven't shown how you do the call - did you include the object as the first parameter?

I would expect it to be:

pTable_setWidthPercentage( newTable : 90 );

We use the techniques from the Advanced Integrated RPG book by Thomas Snyder to create PDFs with RPG.

I am trying to modify the width of a table inside a .pdf using using RPGLE. I would like to use the 'setWidthPercentage' method to adjust the table size but I can not get it to work in my RPGLE program. It defaults the table width to 80% of the page and I need to increase it sightly.

I have found the Java code to set the width of the table.

table.setWidthPercentage(90);

The problem I am having is translating that code to RPG.

I am able to create a two column table using:

newTable = new_pdfptable(2);

I tried defining the 'setWidthPercentage' using:

dcl-pr pTable_setWidthPercentage ExtProc(*JAVA
:'com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPTable'
:'setWidthPercentage');
prWidthPct int(10) value;
end-pr;

When I try to use it I get the 'java.lang.NoSuchMethodError' message. The documentation I've found online states that the 'setWidthPercentage' method is in that .jar file version we have loaded.

Any suggestions on how I can change the size of the table?

Thanks, -Rich
