Re: STRCPYSCN outfile to printer

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No example, but a techniaue, using MS Word. If you download the file with 
data transfer, selecting only the SIDATA field. Be sure to turn on 66535 
CCSID translation.

The control codes get translated to various ASCII codes.
    Normal is x'80',
   reverse image is x'81',
   high intensity is x'82',
   underline is x'84',
   blue is x'9A'.

There are others. Non-display will actually show you the text, with, 
probably, a preceding code of x'87'.

Then do a wildcard find-replace on the pairing of any non-x'80' codes with 
their matching x'80' code, preserving the contents between the codes (use 
parentheses, I think) and replacing with a space before and after, in the 
appropriate formatting and even color. Highlight becomes bold, reverse 
image is a font setting, etc.

Once the pairs are replaced, do a find-replace of the remaining x'80' codes.

I once built a DSPF with all the color and formatting combinations, then 
did a STRCPYSCN to get it to a file, then downloaded that, in order to get 
all the combinations.

The Word doc can be saved as a template, with a macro to do the conversion 
and maybe putting a border around the screen and eliminate the lines with 
the position numbers (makes a good identifiable separator for find-replace 
operation)
