Re: Using RDi Report Designer on a print file larger than 132 characters

Hi Edmund

I've struggled with this, too - it's not obvious that I should go to "Design Reports" to set something - and, IIRC, I have to start designing one in order to be able to set the width.

It seems this value should be at the file level - I think this was easier in RLU - one of the few things that I would say this about. Because I otherwise like the Report Designer a lot.

Do I hear an RFE in my future?   :)

Hi Alan
To get non-default widths, switch to 'Design Reports' and specify the
width you would like

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WDSCI-L] Using RDi Report Designer on a print file
larger than 132 characters
Date: Mon, Jun 15, 2020 5:39 PM
Hi everyone
I am SLOWLY getting myself accustomed to using RDi
Give me 25 or 26 more years - I'll get there
Anyway - I have to make a change to an existing external print file, but
when I open that file to edit it with Report Designer, it only shows the
first 132 characters of a print file, 200 characters wide
I tried to google what (if anything) needs to be done to see ALL of the
print file, but to no avail
Im hoping someone can point me in the right direction

As always, all responses gratefully accepted
