RE: Soft coding Printer File Attributes

Mark,

I think you're chasing a ghost..  I believe SCS reports implement HILIGHT
and UNDERLINE as an embedded overstrike (you know, print line with no paper
advance, then print the underline/hilight bits).  Regardless, Printer files
do not use attribute bytes to start/end special features.

Perhaps, since it SCS, you could CPYSPLF CTLCHAR(*PRTCTL) and insert a line
(before, with 0 for space/skip) with the overstrike data and then removing
the attribute token from the report body.  This conversion would have to run
after the splf is generated and before it goes to print.

Subject: Soft coding Printer File Attributes


Hello all,

I am trying to soft code printer file attributes in an externally described
printer file. I have the hex values for display files but they don't work
in printer files. Does anyone have the hex values for attributes in printer
files? Specifically HIGHLIGHT and UNDERLINE. These are simple SCS printer
files.


Thanks,

Mark
