how to handle smaller font pitch

I have an AFPDS external print file described in DDS.

Here is the RLU display:



<...................><........>
Date Order Completed:XXXXXXXXXX
<..................><......>
Time In............:XXXXXXXX
<..................><......>
Time Out...........:XXXXXXXX





The report looks great in 10 CPI as shown below:



Date Order Completed: 10/19/2012
Time In.............: 15:56:00
Time Out............: 16:56:00


But I need to squish stuff smaller. So I changed pitch from 10cpi to 11cpi at the record level: FONT(432 (*POINTSIZE 11)) .

Now there are several spaces between DDS described fields at print time:

Date Order Completed: 10/19/2012
Time In.............: 15:56:00
Time Out............: 16:56:00

/|\
|
|--------------why are there extra spaces here and how can I remove them?



I am thinking when I use the FONT(432 (*POINTSIZE 11)), the font is reduced properly. But the mapping of FIELDS is still using 10 cpi to place the NEXT field, resulting in too much space between fields.

Is there a DDS keyword to use 11 CPI for field placement (as opposed to font size)?

I can CRTPRTF with

CRTPRTF FILE(X) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) FONT(432 11)

And then fields DO map out using 11 cpi.

Is there a way to do this with DDS keywords - instead of CRTPRTF options? (So no one has to remember to key in FONT sizes when creating print file).

Thanks
