Re: prtf edit codes not working?

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It did work - sent to a HP4000 for testing and worked fine.
using *AFPDS and font 223 - most of the fields overlap.
It never caused me a problem. Did final testing on Lexmark
Optra w/ipds card. I thought I had a good test.
Have tested with no overlaps - same thing.
Have removed most other print record formats - same
