Re: [Bulk] Generating print files for PDF creation

[Mark S Waterbury <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

James:

Are you using the PAGESIZE parameter on the CRTDSPF command to set the 
page size?

This would seem to be a job perfectly suited for using Alan Campin's 
COMPILE / MAKE tool, available at:

    http://www.think400.dk/downloads/

With this tool, you can include the CRTDSPF command right in the source 
code, as comments, near the beginning of the member,, to tell the 
COMPILE tool how to "MAKE" the corresponding object ...And that way, you 
can, in effect, "hard-code" the desired page size "in the source"... so 
it stays with the source, and then instead of using PDM option 14, you 
create a PDM user defined option like "CR" for "Create" or "MK" for 
"Make", to invoke Alan's COMPILE tool. --  This also works with WDSCi 
and RDi, etc. -- /"And Bob's your Uncle..."/

Hope that helps,
