The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

My first (and so far, only) project involving both an
externally-described print file and AFPDS keywords is going rather well,
but it could be a lot better if I could determine the set-width of a
character string, in the font in which it is presented.
There are numerous fields that have too little space on the page to
accommodate the full field length, in which I'm applying variable
horizontal scaling, based on the RPG %LEN(%TRIM()) of the field. They'd
work a lot better if I could calculate the horizontal scaling from the
actual set-width.
One of those fields, in addition, is one where it would be nice if, for
values that take up less than the available space even without
horizontal scaling, I could accurately center the value (which of course
can't be done without knowing the set-width.
Surely I'm not the first one in this position?
