I took Vern's suggestion and coded it (not as elegant as Vern's code, but it
works).



This is a copy/paste from a pdf version of an afpds spooled file

(note: the email client tells me TM is Ariel Font 6.0 but the DDS Print file
font 2304 is Helvetica and point is 5.0 - we have a posting earlier this
week about spool to pdf fonts changing.)

Subject: Re: Printing the Trademark Symbol



The trademark symbol is just the letters TM, usually in a superscript,
right? There's no circle around it, such as on copyright and registered
symbols. But the trademark symbol is not in CCSID 37. Maybe another font,
eh? Or it's very likely UTF-8 (CCSID 1208) - It might be U2122.



If you are using AFPDS, you can probably control this and just use the TM
text with appropriate font - haven't done it, so this is a WAG.

I have been asked by a friend if there is a way the the Trademark

Symbol can be stored in a database file and then printed on a document.

From what little I know, i believe that if he wants it in a database

file,

he can create the table with SQL and add a BLOB field.

How would that be loaded / retrieved and sent to a printer via an

RPGLE program?

I thought about creating a PF, but that would first require getting

the symbol in the spool file first.



Any suggestions will be appreciated.
