How strange--  -=I'M=- working on the same problem!  (:

I don't have the manual either.

The document as defined in the OV/400 manual is defined on 'EasyRead'
forms--  8-1/2 tall x 14-7/8 wide.  Most standard 'GreenBar' reports will
fit on that size paper.  The End-Of-Page will also fit...

Our receipients will be via The Internet; I'm hoping they want to -keep-
the data in machine readable form.

Have you tested printing 'as coded?'  It's easy to compile the programs:
Just copy them from the CD to your PDM session and compile!  (:

The example is interesting:  IBM chose COBOL just to prove it could be
done.  !:

I played around with OV/400 documents way back when... the basic format is
random length records in a fixed length file (pretty much like a spooled
file).  Assorted parameters are inserted at the beginning of a record for
control of line spacing, font changes, etc.
