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

I agree, Edmund. One could find it in *ALL or *ALLUSR, too - but even then, it might not have the same name. I was a temp (in the 80s) at a big company here in the Twin Cities who used an S/36, and there was contractor who all of a sudden wasn't there after lunch - turned out he thought he had job security, he had used objects names that were all different from the source name!! Someone else came in eventually and hooked things up. I don't know, but I assume the objects had the source name in them - just as they do now on the IBM i.

So that brings up a thought - there's an SQL service now for object information, I think, maybe it has the source information there, too. I admit, it might be a bit slow - but maybe there's something Scott and his crew can come up with for this specific purpose.

Anyhow, just some more thoughts before lunch!

Cheers
Vern

The only challenge is finding the compiled PRTF object given the PRTF

*CURLIB but that assumption will not always be true.

It might not be necessary to go through all that - an existing PRTF has
the width as one of its attributes, right? Or is there a way for it not
to?

But an API exists to get what DSPFD has.

The issue, as I've been thinking it through today, is for existing
PRTFs, where wider ones are not automatically opened with their full
width. That's be the import of an RFE I submit.

Cheers, y'all!
