Re: Center field in printer file on IPDS

When using *AFPDS, I have used the POSITION keyword with program-to-system
fields accomplish this.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I'm using font 1653 and printing to an *IPDS printer, using a print file.
I can't seem to get fields centered on the page.  If I have a field that
is 40 bytes long, and I center text with in that field, and then if I try
to print that field - it won't be centered.  I assume that it's because of
the proportional font (1653).  Does anybody have suggestions?  Is there
another font that would similar in size and weight (bold) to 1653 that
would be uniform spacing?  Is there another DDS keyword (like CENTER?)
that I don't know about?   Any other idea?

Thanks!
