Simple Printing Question

Somewhere lost in the layers of host print transform and its interaction
with our iSeries is some strange behavior.

We have a print file defined in dds as 85 wide type *AFPDS that has two -
(minus) characters on two separate lines in column 84.

When printed to a variety of printers mostly laser jet emulations it prints
fine except for dropping the -. With and overlay or without an overlay it
looks the same.

I have changed the width from 80 to 100 both on the printer file and in an
override and it looks altered on the iSeries but prints exactly the same on
the printer. Somehow has HPT seen the lack of data and dropped the - from
the last position? What is real strange is truncating the line through a
printer override still prints the report with the data but minus the minus.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Konrad
