Re: changing paper size company wide.

[PaulMmn <PaulMmn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you issue an OVRPRTF command somewhere in the job that does the printing
you will be able to change the parameters to use 8.5" tall paper.

You can specify the 8 lpi and the new lines-per-page.  The transition from
66 to 68 is not a problem; your reports will leave a couple of extra blank
lines on each page.

We used to handle this by using a routing program in the batch subsystem.
We used a data area named for the user profile running the job to control
whether or not to use the print override.
