Re: Space between fields in printer file

[jerry ven <jerryven95@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just increased the length of one field in existing printer file but it
caused  disturbance in other field and  this disturbed field has started
showing one less decimal position.
but this being a program described printer file, how could this 'use +2 to
specify 2 spaces' be used in existing program described printer file?


Thanks
