No, you don't *have* to. As others mentioned, you can put the O-specs in a /include.

I've done it a couple of times for a quick and dirty report request - one off's - not ongoing production.

Yes, it's a kludge but it is quick to put together - and one less object to manage.

It looks like I will need to use an externally described printer file

No, there are no free-format O-specs. You'd need an externally-described printer file.



Thanks

Hi everyone



We are on V7r3

Its been a while since I wrote a new program that produces a spool file With free-form, you declare a printer like dcl-f SLSRPT0055 Printer OflInd(pageFull); However - did anything replace the o-specs?

Ive done a google search and haven't really found anything - but then - could THAT be due to what I am searching for?

As always - all answers gratefully accepted
