Yes I do use RDi... but I've only dabbled with PRTFs. I found it difficult to navigate and compile (mainly because I'm accustomed to RLU and I hardly ever mess with printer files).
Also, with RLU there are compile options embedded in the bottom of the DDS. Does RDi recognize these?
When I compiled the PRTF from SEU I had change the values in the CRTPRTF command.

Greg, do you use RDi? The Print Designer tool allows me to do this - and
is much nicer than RLU. (Compiles OK too.)

Is there any way to define a field that is longer than a print file is wide?

Case in point.. I have a printer file that is 100 positions wide. I added a field using a variable width font (i.e. fine print at the bottom of the document). When filled, the field data goes about 60% across the page. Because of the font size, I could easily make this field 160, but RLU won't allow it.

Any way around this?
