RE: Printing down not across

I was unclear. I am trying to duplicate a form using DDS. One block has a word going down instead of across. I >think< I have it aligned now. But wondered if there was a way to print down other than using txtrte. Using txtrte, characters are rotated and what I needed was the word itself rotated while keeping the characters oriented the same as the remainder of the form.

Hello John,

I don't know if there's a way to do that in a spool file.

However if you're open to commercial solutions our iForms product can handle this.

I need to print a word on a form like this:

P
A
T
I
E
N
T

If I use the tstrte keyword, the word itself is rotated. Is there a font that will do this? Only other method I can think of is to use separate field positioning for each character. But, so far, that has not worked well. I can't get the vertical letters to line up and have uniform spacing.

We are on v5r4 - probably dead on that as well.

John McKee.
