Re: Printer file issue

I have seen the same issue with display and print of AFPDS acting
differently.  I believe I had to adjust print over to solve it.

I suspect it has to do with some conversion to AFPDS... true AFPDS
uses coordinate positioning (over, down) and you may be using line/character
position on your output fields.
