Re: Print left of margin -- RPG400-L

No, AFAIK, a WSCST is attached to a printer.

it
also move other prints from the 400 over to the left as well.  Does anyone
know if there is a way to attach this change only to a spooled file or
something like that???

I've tried to change the FRONTMGN parameter on the PRTF.  I've changed it
to
0,0.  This puts the text right on the left margin of any printers default
margin.  However it needs to go more to the left.  Microsoft word can
print
farther to the left, so the printer is capable of such a print.  I'm sure
word is using some type of printer driver.  The only thing I have seen is
to
create a *WSCST object.  Is or has anyone used this option?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but you could try defining
the FRONTMGN and see if that will help....

Print left of margin






I need to be able to to print in a box on a form, that is only about an
1/8 of an inch from the left side of the paper.  Using a PRTF and AFPDS
I can print that close to the edge on the right side of the paper but
not on the left side.  Is there anything I can do on the PRTF compile or
something else on the 400 that can change the default settings of the
printer associated with the outq and allow for printing farther to the
left.  The form is called a UB04 form and is coming out soon.
