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

Part of the confusion is how the iSeries handles rotation and page origin. In AFP there are 2 page origins, one a graphical that is used for page segments, overlays and GOCA objects and a text orientation that is used for, well , text. When you describe a page as portrait or landscape the graphical origin is the top left corner. When you ask the iSeries to rotate only the text orientation moves. So remember when placing page segs and overlays, the origin stays at the default. You can get around this by using a form def, but most don't have PPFA to create form defs. The simplest way is to describe the page as portrait or landscape and avoid rotations. You can then create your overlays or page segs in the same orientation that will be used to print them and things get a bit simpler.
