Re: OVRPRTF question

To your question, the output line length in itself is not that relevant
these are some printer file overrides/attributes I have found
useful to check and adjust:

Measurement method . . . . . . *ROWCOL

Font: FONT
Identifier . . . . . . . . . . > *CPI
Detree of page rotation . . . PAGRTT > 90

OVRPRTF question






Is there a difference between a WRKQRY with an 80 character output line
and an RPG III program with an 80 character line? The first one, sent to
a Xerox remote outq, prints portrait. The second prints landscape. This
is an old RPG III program, used as a print service program. It reads from
a file and prints data to selected printers. Hard to test the thing
without impacting users.

A second question, related to the above: Original compile time table
holding the skeleton OVRPRTF command only includes the first parameter on
PAGESIZE). I put a second OVRPRTF after that with PAGESIZE(66 80). No
change. Moved it in front of the original. Still no change. Output is
always landscape. The skeleton does not have the SECURE parameter. Which
is why I am wondering if there is a difference between WRKQRY and RPG III.


Because of the nature of this old program, I was reluctant to change the
skeleton. But, I'm not clear on why the original override works, whether
it is first or second, and the added override does not appear to work.

Obviously, I am missing something.
