Re: Generating print files for PDF creation

It's a *long* time since I created a print file. If, as other say, there is no way to specify in the source, and you are compiling from PDM, then a user defined option might work. (F16=User options in Work with Members--you probably know this...)

Create an option something like this, replacing XX with something of your choosing:
Option Command
XX CRTPRTF FILE(&L/&N) SRCFILE(&L/&F) ??PAGESIZE(66 132)

You'll get a prompt for the page size, or you can hard code them to whatever you need.

I may have mentioned that, in my latest PDF generation project, I've
taken my first step into externally-described print files, and my first
step into AFPDS.

But I have a question: It seems like every time this print file gets
regen'd from PDM, unless I explicitly set the paper size, I end up with
a print file that's set up for 132-column greenbar.

I don't see a way to specify the paper size in the source member. Is
there a way, that I'm just not seeing?
