Re: CHGDEVPRT

Erick,

I have found that the Host Transform will keep a printout as portrait -if- the
print file record length is under 80 characters, other than that the only way
I've have found to change the pitch for landscape is through a WSC object.

I agree, 20 point or even 17 (16.7) point is too small for a 132 column report.
Let's see, 11 inches, subtract 1/2" on each side for margins, that leaves 10" 
for
132 positions = 15 pitch for 5224/5225 compatibility. If the output is only 120
columns then 12 pitch would work and look just dandy.
