[U2] UV Pre-printed forms
One of my clients would like to replace their pre-printed forms with those generated by the system. Basically the form has been re-created in MS Publisher and saved as a PRN file. I understand that there is some magic to send the form, keep the job open and then send the data for the form. This will most likely be HP PCL per my insistence but there maybe some Canon network printers brought into the mix. UV AIX RS-6000.

[U2] UV 10 - Basic Compiler (dis)enhancement
Happy New Year all I guess most people are already running 10 so won't be affected but for any who are still to move from UV 9.n to 10.n, there is a change within the compiler which made my New Year's Day very interesting. I maintain and support a 4GL which uses the following construct extensively READ ACCBUF(nn) from ACCFCB(nn), RECID ELSE ... where ACCBUF and ACCFCB are dimensioned arrays of record images and file variables respectively This has worked fine for at least 15 years across PI, PI+, UV and UD - but not if compiled at UV 10.1 Looking at the VLIST output (great utility, thanks VMark) it seems that prior to 10 the compiler used two registers, one for the record image, the other for the file variable. At 10 it only uses one register and zeroes it immediately after the read, before putting the value back into ACCBUF - so, whatever you read you get back 0. I guess somebody looked at the compiler source and thought what a waste of a register, I can improve this I got caught because I didn't recompile the code on switching from 9 to 10 (yes, I should have known better), so everything worked fine until New Year's Eve when I recompiled a program ! I am reporting this to IBM, will post the response Piers --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
When I have done this, it is more like an overlay. The bit map form is loaded into the memory of the laser printer. Then you print the text of the form. An escape sequence is sent to sent the overlay of the bit map form over the top of the printed text before a form feed is done. We had to have to a process (manual) to reload the forms every time the printer was powered off. -Original Message- From: Mark Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 7:23 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms One of my clients would like to replace their pre-printed forms with those generated by the system.

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
Mark, I've attached a c program I created called pcl2mac. It converts the PCL commands of a .PRN file into a file that can be copied to a HP LaserJet printer to load a page image and reprint it for each page generated. Thus the text file that follows will be merged with the pre-printed form. Orginally I wrote it for the output from MS Word 2 and the .PRN file must only represent 1 page. We use UV on HPUX9000. New MS products generate a lot more junk into the .PRN file, but I think it will still work. You may want to select HP LaserJet 3 driver when printing from the application. To use it with universe, I added a cat command in the front of print driver script to copy the image to the printer, prior to the copying of the text of the report. Hope this helps... -- Rod Hills -Original Message- From: Mark Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 5:23 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms One of my clients would like to replace their pre-printed forms with those generated by the system.

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
I've seen this done 3 ways. Sorry though that my details are sketchy 1: save the .prn file into pick somewhere, and then when you're generating the report, copy the saved .prn to the printer before sending the fill-in data. You may have to remove any formfeeds/resets from the end of the .prn, and you might have problems if the .prn contains binary font data (which it almost surely does if it's captured printer output from a microsoft program). You also have to send all that form data for each printed page 2: Similar to above, but you load the .prn image into the printer as a macro. This could help you get around the binary data problem because you can set the macro outside of your pick program from windows or unix. You'll have to look up in the printer manuals how to set macros. 3: There are companies that sell font cartridges for HP printers who will burn your form image into the cartridge. Which you then print using a macro function. This is the simplest from the programmer's standpoint, but it would be awkward if you needed to print forms from more than a couple of printers, and you'd need a new cartridge every time your forms changed. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave S Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 9:27 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms Good luck with that.

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
Hi Mark, I install and train for our Publisher and Forms Manager software, also develop the forms. Here's the gist of how it works: 1. I create the form, I use the PagePlus 8 software (about $100). Actually, I have all of our baseline forms (standard ones) created, I just add the customer's logo and other changes they'd like. Usual forms: Sales Orders, Shipping Documents, AR Invoices, AR Customer Statements, Purchase Orders, AP Invoices, AP Checks, Quotations, RMA's, and Vendor Shipping forms. 2. From PagePlus 8, I print the form to a file - I created a new HP printer on my pc for that purpose - to output the form in PCL format - creates a prn document. 3. I move this prn document to a UniVerse/UniData file. 4. On the UniVerse/UniData account, I use our Business Forms process to define the form and create an 'overlay' record from that Form PRN record. 5. When printing the Form (PO, Sales Order, Invoice, etc.), we have a subroutine that gets the Overlay and sends it to the printer which recognizes it as a Overlay and holds it. As you print the data, when a full page is reached or a formfeed the data and the overlay are printed on the paper. Note, our Publisher will recognize this form is to be emailed or faxed and will grab the output, convert it to a PDF document, and then send (and optionally print) the form. Hope this helps!

Create form in Word and save it as a .RTF file. Put 'tags' (just ASCII text like 'FNAME') into the form elements you want to fill with data. Use any font and formatting you like. 2. Put the .RTF file where you can get at it from UV Basic. 3. In your program, open the .RTF template and do a search and replace for your tags. Stream the output to a new sequential file with an .RTF extension. 4. Use DDE or other method to get Word to print the document.

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
Mark, Lots of good answers. Here's mine: 1. From word, print to HPII printer as a file, save the .prn file to local pc file. 2. Using accuterm, import file to universe as hex (required several mods to the kermit import programs to allow FF and write the hex). 3. Print to printer (or hold file for PDF's) as a cached macro (download once, assign macro number and use macro after) stripping off leading and trailing bytes (43 leading, 3 trailing) and handling the printing of hex print iconv(string, MX): in the image file. By doing it this way, we also have an option to convert the hold file to PDF and email it (using blat for windows) instead of printing it using the visual software (PCL to PDF) also mentioned in this thread.
