Robert,

There are two help files that come with DPSpool. DPSpool.hlp is for end-users 
(those running the database application). DPSpool-Designer.hlp is the help file 
for you, the database designer, with the code information you want.

  Hi Tim,


  That's the code I was looking for.


  You told me before how to use the relative cursor positioning with image 
files and it works great. The help file in my version of DPSpool doesn't have 
anything about DPSpool codes. I guess I need to download a newer version. 


  Thanks,
  Robert Kendall

    Look up Cursor Positioning in the DPSpool help file.

    Essentially you want something like <251>M1.0;<251> to move the current 
print position to 1" from the left margin, leaving the vertical position 
unchanged. If you put this code inside a report variable, you'll need to use 
the ;;V print modifier to keep DP from messing with the <251> codes.

      Hi Tim,

      I am printing via DPSpool. Is there a DPSpool code to tab to a specific 
column?

        Hi Robert,

        Are you printing via DPSpool or are you printing to the printer 
directly?

        If you're printing through DPSpool, you don't send PCL codes. You use 
DPSpool codes to accomplish what you want and DPSpool takes care of sending the 
correct info (PCL codes, etc.) to the printer.

        If you're printing directly to the printer, try using a field format of 
A0A0. The ;;V print modifier really should only apply when creating WP-format 
files, which isn't the case when printing directly to the printer.

          Hi Brian,

          I'm would like to put a PCL horizontal positioning command (←&a#C 
where # = number of columns) in a report variable. It works fine in the report 
but I need it in a report variable. If I put it in quotes ("←&a6") and print it 
as A5;;V it justs prints the code on paper (←&a6). Any suggestions?

          Robert Kendall
