RE: Bold printing using *AFPDS and internal printing.

Booth,

The bolding scheme the Document Integrator tool uses is the standard
trick of printing one line, no space movement then printing the second
line. The same document prints bold when using *SCS and does not print
bold when using *AFPDS.

When I copy the version of the document in *SCS and compare the *FCFC
data against other reports with bolding, they look the same for the
print lines that are to be bolded.

Thanks, Matt

Can you print the bolded fields twice? Two output lines? That works in
some situations.

When I print with this tool it outputs via program described output
(because of the variable nature of the user documents). The tool

has

a feature that allow for underling and bolding of text. If I print

to

a *SCS data stream the bolding appears but if I use a print file or
override one to use *AFPDS data stream the bolding is lost. However,
the underlining remains.



I know that I can bold in an externally defined *AFPDS printer file

but

I cannot use one in this case. The bolded data could appear in

various

positions on the print line because of the size of merge data. I Must
use *AFPDS to specify the document font and a letter head overlay.



Does any one have experience in forcing the bolding to program

described

output while using a *AFPDS defined printer file?



Thanks, Matt
