RE: PRTF problem...fields don't go where I want 'em

While it's been a while since I used RLU it seems
that the heading many times would go on one line and
the data on the other or creating a column effect.

But don't be afraid of getting into the DDS and looking
around. This is where the power users go to make simple changes.
If it shows in the source as a seperate line than your problem
is probably in how you are using RLU.

Watch those space or skip commands in seu. They can sneak in between
without your noticing them.

If you provide a copy of your dds I'm sure you would get a lot better
feedback

I definitely only have one printer file with that name.

I have the correct printer file name in my F-specs.

I am specifying the starting position not the ending position for the field.

I recompiled the DDS.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
