Re: Space between fields in printer file -- RPG400-L

I'm still not clear if the field is missing the data or if the field is being overlayed in the printer file position.First of all, a printer file does not use end position. Only the old O-soecs use them. Printer files use starting position.Secondly, use +2 or whatever spacing you want for all fields but the first one on each line.Use the Report Layout Utility to see the output on screen while you are designing.Yours truly,Glenn Gundermannglenn.gundermann@xxxxxxxxx(416) 317-3144
