RE: Using OO concepts in RPG

Color my face red.  I didn't know that.  Thank you for letting me know!  (I
would have used a nice pink color for the word "red"  if David allowed
modern e-mail on his lists.  ;)
 
So there is even more reason for IBM to give us pretty printing?  They are
much farther along with it then I'd imagined.  In that case, how tough could
it be to give us edit codes for red minus numbers and for double underlines?
 
(I am not campaigning for those two things only, but for the whole family of
what is needed for pretty printing.  It may not be RPG, but I've never seen
externally described printer files ever used with anything but RPG.)

Huh? Host print transform is NOT Windows specific. It's simply a rendering
engine that just happens to support ASCII devices. HPT allows OS400 to take
a native print data-stream (AFPDS, IPDS, SCS) and translate the output into
the device's native language (PJL, SNMP, AFP, etc.) As to telling HPT to
colorize your output, that sounds like an application design issue.
