In the source the records really have no defined size do they, the page
size is set at compile (CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF) time. The source can conceivably
be compiled into multiple PRTFs that have different page sizes. Creating a
report in the Page Designer lets you reflect the different sizes and then
you can have the same, or different, records in different reports with
different defined page sizes to see how it looks. Is what you looking for
is some sort of default report size?

I agree it's sort of hidden. But, you could infer that the "report" *is*
the file level. Otherwise, all you have is individual formats.
Not sure i want the RDi teams effort spent on this.
Looks like you can edit this line in the source view, close & reopen and
RDi will honor the new value.

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? :)

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
