RE: Was Re: creating a page segment now Problem with rotation of a page segment

I cannot speak for page segments. But whenever I create overlays, I have to rotate it 180 degrees in the printer setup prior to uploading to the as/400. Because if I were to rotate the printer file, the boundaries no longer existed and the stuff was printing on the left side of the page without no matter how far I indented the text of the printer file.

Hmmm...this is a wag, but is the page segment larger than you think?
I'm wondering if the page segment is outside the bounds because of its size.

Thanks for your reply Michael
I have been playing with the position across and position down as well
as the rotation Here is what I have found using the system i Navigator
I have to use a rotation value of 270 so that the logo is in the
correct format in relation to the print on the form However, with this
rotation, of 270, the logo does NOT print A rotation value of 0, the
logo DOES print (only 90 degrees to the print
on
the form)

ANYONE ANY CLUES HERE WHY THE LOGO DOES NOT PRINT WITH ROTATION OF 270?

With the rotation at 270, the placement on the viewer is NOT at the
same position with the rotation at 0 (position across and position
down parameters are the same for BOTH rotation values)

ANYONE ANY CLUES HERE?

In all cases, the values for rotation, position across and position
down are parameters external to the program. So in ALL test cases, the
print file and the program DO NOT change. Just the parameters

God - this is SO FRUSTRATING

Does the rotation take it out of the printable area? Try changing the
position (row, column) and see if that changes anything. Any messages
in the job log?

If you see this for a third time, my apologies

Hopefully this all makes sense to someone I have created a Page
segment object in my library When I try to use in on a particular
form, the form is printed correctly
on
A4, in landscape format.
However, the page segment (logo) is printed perpendicular to the form
Looking at what I was able to glean from my google search, I would
need
to
use the *ROTATION parameter within the PAGESEG command in my DDS
defined print file When i use a value of 0 for the *ROTATION
parameter, the page segment
(logo) is printed perpendicular to the form When I use one of the
other values (90, 180, 270) for the *ROTATION parameter, the page
segment (logo) does NOT print at all on the form

Questions
1. The most obvious one, anyone know what I am doing wrong 2. Is
there a way to see if there is a page segment in the spool file.
Using Display spool file command does NOT show the logo

We are at V5r4
