Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Free form for a printer and o specs
Use of O specs, even in fixed form, have a very limited use when using anything other than the most basic of reporting. For a "quick and dirty" they may be acceptable. But look at creating a printer file with DDS. Then in RPG you write to that instead of using O specs, etc.

You can't do O-specs (or I-specs) in **FREE. You should probably use an externally-described print file. Alternatively, you can use an /INCLUDE compiler directive to put the fixed-format O-specs in a different source member.

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
Its been a while since I wrote a new program that produces a spool file
With free-form, you declare a printer like
dcl-f SLSRPT0055 Printer OflInd(pageFull);
However - did anything replace the o-specs?
Ive done a google search and haven't really found anything - but then - could THAT be due to what I am searching for?
As always - all answers gratefully accepted
