Re: Compile options for Printer Files

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Booth,

In situations like that, I tend to code an OVRPRTF in my program that 
uses the print file.  Since the OVRPRTF specifies a width of 85 columns, 
it doesn't matter what was specified on the CRTPF command.

I realize that this might not be ideal for all situations, but it's what 
I use in my shop.
