Re: O spec help needed please -- RPG400-L

He is looking for CRTPRTF I believe. He is not using QSYSPRT, he is using LIST, which is probably defined with 156 characters. I would suggest changing the RPG program to LIST271 and then do a CRTPRTF LIST271 and use F4, then F10 and changing the PAGSIZ to 271 Characters. Then he can compile his program successfully and it should work, providing his printer device can handle it.

change

.....unless you have an even wider printer than most of us would be thinking
of

If you had a really wide report and printed at Lpi(6)
....it could end up sort of weird, some printers don't like these variances

An example of this might be, others might do it differently
OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) PAGESIZE(66 271) LPI(8) +
CPI(20) OVRFLW(58) FONT(*CPI) PAGRTT(90)

You may have to figure out your own #'s

You did not say what kind of printer you have
.....are you printing on green bar ... 11x14
....or on 8.5x11 copy paper

If it's 8.5x11, you probably won't even be able to read it at that width

You might think about printing to a pdf file
.....adobe can usually compensate for some of these things
.....and then your print might come out right

It might have seemed reasonable to expand to the right

But it might be a better idea to redesign the report in order to make it
more readable
.....it might add more lines/pages, but the results would be more desirable
