Re: Changing PdfPTable width from RPGLE using iText -- JAVA400-L

I tried the 'setTotalWidth' method and received the same error.

Here's how I defined the method:

dcl-pr PTable_setTotalWidth
extproc(*JAVA
:'com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPTable'
:'setTotalWidth');
prWidth int(10) value;
end-pr;

Here's how I called the method:

newTable = new_pdfptable(2);
PTable_setTotalWidth(newTable: 500);

Here's the error message:

Java exception "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfPTable.setTotalWidth(I)V"

I used iText for a short time WAYYYYY back when and I am by no means an
iText person but it looks like you can also set an absolute size for the
table. I don't know if that would work any better.

Can't really offer much help as it appears that that version of iText is so
old that it is no longer available for download.

What you have done looks correct but ...

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
