CreatePrint is a forms package.

When you send output to a printer the CreatePrint software intercepts the
file and if the formtype of the *SPLF matches a CreatePrint formtype the
*SPLF data is manipulated to look the way you want it to look and graphics
added if required.

The problem is that CreatePrint doesn't support *IPDS. And from whar I
understand OV/400 or our version of it is printing output using *IPDS. The
SPLF needs to *SCS or *USERASCII.

So we need to change the output to one of the latter two options.

Regards,

Nathan Simpson

I'm not familar with "CreatePrint", but OV400 "can" use a IPDS printer
if you wish. IPDS is a hardware/software combo that requires both parts
to work correctly. You can "emulate" IPDS with HPT but the results are
often not satisfactory. You don't really "tinker" with IPDS, youy either
have or not...


Try to describe "CreatePrint" and what you are attempting to do and we
could be of more help.
