Thanks for your reply
Looking at the spool file using the new ACS, displays the spool file as a pdf file
I can definitely see that the font size is NOT what I asked it to be as other lines in the spool file - that use the font size I changed to - are definitely smaller

I am trying to think of how many places to check:
When you say
when I print the spool file - they DEFINITELY are NOT printing using the FONT When I open up the spool file in my outq using ACS - that also shows that the font size is NOT 222
Not seeing font change when actually printing - (on a real printer) Not seeing in ACS view of outq - does this only show the text of the spool like 5250 screen did? I would think you would have to view as a pdf to see fonts?
I do not have ACS where I'm at.
The spooled file attributes should show
Device type . . . . . . . . . . . . . : PRINTER
Printer device type . . . . . . . . . : *AFPDS
Device requirements:
Final form text . . . . . . . . . . : N
Variable font . . . . . . . . . . . : Y
...
AFP resource . . . . . . . . . . . . : Y - maybe or maybe not
When you execute the print program - any lines in the joblog about fonts?

I have opened up my file in RDi, using Report Designer and BOTH fields
LYLTYMSG01 and LYLTYMSG01 are using the keyword FONT with parameter 222 However, when I print the spool file - they DEFINITELY are NOT printing using the FONT When I open up the spool file in my outq using ACS - that also shows that the font size is NOT 222 I was hoping that it would show the actual font size for all the characters - unfortunately not
Complete blank as to how to proceed from here as I have also used FONT(69) on these 2 fields with no change

Can you show the DDS code - are you specifying font at the record format level or the field level or both?
A R $PRT02A FONT(5707 (*POINTSIZE 11))
A XRQTITL 120 POSITION(3.20 0.55)
A FONT(5707 (*POINTSIZE
13))
This was interesting -

Trying to remember the job log showing when font substitution occurs - if in the QSPLJOB log or the user's job...

Subject: Changing font size on a field withing a print file is not working
Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are on V7r3
I need to make a change to what is printed within one particular print file For whatever reason - I decided to take this very slowly I changed the names of the 2 fields in the print file, making the applicable change in the program that uses this print file I then changed the contents of these 2 fields - and tested these changes So far so good I then changed (or attempted to change) the font size of these 2 fields by including FONT(222) after each of the field in the print file I recompiled the print file I recompiled the program that uses the print file But when I print the spool file to an AFPDS printer - nothing has changed And I am drawing a blank as to how to debug this Is there any way to see what font size is sued within the spool file?
I chose FONT(222) for no reason, except that is sued elsewhere within the print file and is printing smaller characters - so I am assuming FONT(222) does in fact work
