Hi Robert, DPSpool questions are fine for the DP user group forum.
1. When you enter codes, you have to do so using the Printer Control function of DP. You can't just enter them as ordinary text. Essentially, you place the cursor in the report where you want the code, then press Ctrl-F7, 1, B. This prompts you for a Printer Control String, which is where you enter the DPSpool codes you want to use. 2. Make sure your report is configured to output in WordPerfect format, not DOS Text. Since some of the line-drawing characters may do double-duty as control codes, specifying WordPerfect format tells DP to automatically handle these characters in the proper way when they are to be interpreted as text rather than codes. Without this special handling, DPSpool can get confused and treat the characters as control codes rather than printing them. Tim Rude ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert I. Kendall To: Tim Rude Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 2:59 PM Hi Tim, I have 2 DPSpool questions. I'm not sure they are appropriate for the DP user group forum: 1. I am trying to use the bold on/off codes in a report but they just print out as "<157>" and "<156>". Do they need to be bracketted by another code? 2. I have a cat.c function containing text surrounded by ascii box/line characters. The box and text prints fine with DPPrint but DPSpool won't print the report variable. If I delete the line draw characters the text prints fine. Any suggestions?
