Hey,
You've narrowed it down to the RPG program but they test just fine on
your printers?
I would look at the printers first ... Are they the same make, model,
firmware?
Whether they are, or are not, the same, how are the printers defined to
the iSeries?
What is the Manufacturing make and model? What is the host transform,
if any?
What is the difference between the one working and the one not working.
The mere fact it is working on your printers tells me you should not be
looking
at the RPG program at this stage.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: printer spacing out of whack
Hey all,
We sent out our payroll system W2 changes to our customers last month
and they are beginning to run them and some are having trouble with
printing them on lasers.
They test just fine on our printers but when some of the customers run
them the printing starts down one line, making all the printing off by
one line.
This is true for printing on pre-printed sheets and using overlays.
I've narrowed it down to the RPG program - if we run W2s using last
year's version, all is fine. If we run with the new one, it prints one
line down.
I can see the code for both of them via STRDBG. These are internally
described print files and each line has a Skip Before number and they
are the same in both versions.
I'm pulling my hair out here, why would these two nearly identical
programs start printing pages on a different line?
