>create a spool file<
Just to clarify, the rotation and print density attributes are done at the
printer file level, not spool file.  I think that's what you intended to say,
but wasn't sure since you are still having difficulty with this.

OVRPRTF PAGRTT(*AUTO) works on my V3R2 system.  Take another look for it.
What's your OS level?
PAGRTT is also used in CRTPRTF & CHGPRTF (others???)

This was covered in previous posts, but you also need to consider the CPI
parameter.  If you're trying to print 132 columns on a letter-sized page in
portrait mode, you need to specify CPI(16.5) or higher; just do the math (132
/ 8" = 16.5 cpi).  I use 8 inches (and not 8 1/2") because that's the max most
laser printers can print on.

This is assuming that your printer hardware and AS/400 printer definition can
handle page rotation, CPI, & LPI changes.

-------------- Original Message --------------
thanks everyone for your ideas on my problem.  One gentleman suggested i
 create a spool file using PAGRTT(*AUTO).  However, I do not have this option
 in my CL, when i prompt on OVRPRTF.  Please excuse any ignorance i might show
 as i am new to programming, and definately dont know my way around CL's .
 Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  thanks.
