Possibly width set to 0 is supposed to make it ignore it..??? I never used it, or tried it. I just set it really really wide (I think like 5000), and kept throwing in lf's. or rather just didn't have a ":" at the end of the PRINT ON ...
I suppose that if you sent it to the &HOLD& file, then tried sending it from the &HOLD& file to the printer via unix it might eliminate the problem with SPOOL, but I don't know if the &HOLD& file would be corrupt as well.
