I have a user trying to print a report with 198 columns, all of them used.
The spool file that outputs has /all/ the print columns and all the data columns.

It's written to an externally described printer file defined as having the 198 print positions in the detail record.

The file is defined with CPI = 18, Pagesize( 66 198 *ROWCOL).

There is a CLLE with a couple of OVRPRTF parameters that are not available with the externally described printer file object. I have included PRTRTT( *AUTO ) and that got more columns on the page but it's still cutting off about 50 print positions.

The physical printer is Lexmark X658de. This printer does okay by other reports, though I don't think the user has printed 198 wide. It prints the earlier version printing QPRINT with an override of PAGESIZE(66 150) CPI(12).

The CLLE is compiled ACTGRP(*NEW) and the SQLRPGLE report program with ACTGRP(*CALLER), so it's not that either. (That did give somebody a problem in the developer group recently, the 198 override in the CLP did not carry over to the RPGLE program.)

#1. Does anybody know whether this specific model is incompatible?
The Lexmark web site says the printer supports:

"IBM iSeries or IBM AS/400® Systems with TCP/IP with OS/400® V3R1 or
later using OS/400 Host Print Transform
Virtually any platform supporting TCP/IP"


#2. What am I missing? I'm trying to avoid rewriting code to make
two detail lines in the print report. I've done this before, but
this now has me stumped.


Thanks
