That requires you knowing where you are, exactly on the page.

I always do a series of skips and spaces but I know where the
line is when I print.

Here is a some heading and then some lines all on the same page:


0115.00 R TXT13B 030912
0116.00 SPACEB(1) 030912
0117.00 29'CODE' 030912
0118.00 39'AMOUNT' 030912
0119.00 65'DEDUCTIBLE' 030912
0120.00 93'PREMIUM' 030912
0121.00 R TXT14 030831
0122.00 LINE(2.2 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0123.00 LINE(2.650 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0124.00 LINE(2.950 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0125.00 LINE(3.250 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0126.00 LINE(3.550 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0127.00 LINE(3.850 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0128.00 LINE(4.150 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0129.00 LINE(4.450 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0130.00 LINE(4.750 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0131.00 LINE(5.050 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0132.00 LINE(5.350 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0133.00 LINE(5.650 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912
0134.00 LINE(5.950 0.2 7.90 *HRZ *MEDIUM) 030912

and the RPG that writes the lines:

0046.00 C WRITETXT13B 030912
0047.00 C WRITETXT14 030831
0048.00 C WRITETXT15 030916
0049.00 C WRITETXT16 030916
0050.00 C WRITETXT17 030916
0051.00 C WRITETXT18 030916
0052.00 C WRITETXT19 030916
0053.00 C WRITETXT20 030916
0054.00 C WRITETXT21 030916
0055.00 C WRITETXT22 030916
0056.00 C WRITETXT23 030916
0057.00 C WRITETXT24 030916
0058.00 C WRITETXT25 031024

Printing lines is going to require a good bit of testing to get the "exact" results you want
and it can be different results(slightly) with different printers.

PS: Some fonts will be different if printed on different printers and that will change the
alignment of the form.

I am using GUMBO to email an *AFPDS spooled file to PDF. But that is just

printer in the warehouse.

this font seems to work ok:
A FONT(2304 +
A (*POINTSIZE 12 10))

2305 being the bold version of 2304.

What I am having trouble understanding is how do I use POSITION on the same
page as I am using line feeds to advance down the page. So I print 12
heading lines and then want to print a horizontal line across the page.
The LINE function prints a horizontal line but I think it takes an absolute
position. But how to know that absolute position after printing x number
of header lines?
