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

Thank for your reply Mike
Nothing fancy.
I needed to make some changes in the columns that were not displayed
I now see how to change the width of the report - so now I can see the changes that I make

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?   :)

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
