Ref: Universe/NT Ver. 10.x. Several months ago we were faced with forms and reports where the data that should have printed at the bottom of the page was pushed over to the top of the next page.
We issued SETPTR commands to equate both top and bottom margins = 0 on both print channel 0 and the print channel that we were printing on. We created a test program to print 99 lines of data (LINE 1, LINE 2, etc.) and found that LINE 1 started on line 4 of the paper and LINE 60 was the last line printed leaving 3 blank lines at the bottom of the page, suggesting that the default top margin and bottom margin settings = 3 were being imposed on the print jobs even though the print channel margins = 0 and even though we used the NOFMT and NODEFAULT options. After trying all kinds of tricks, we were somehow finally able to print 66 lines of data on an 11-1/2" page at 6 lpi and 66 lpp, but we were unable to pinpoint exactly which trick did the job. In fact, we were able to store that 99 line print job in a file and SPOOL it to the printer (which is our ultimate goal) and print the first 66 lines on the first page. The Universe server needed to be rebooted recently, and we are now back to 3-line margins, both printing direct to the printer and spooling to the printer, inspite of what we do, including resetting the default printer settings using SETPTR 0,85,66,0,0,1 and SETPTR,DEFAULT in the UV account. A Support Case has been opened with IBM, but your experience may be a richer and more readily available source of ideas and solutions. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated. tia, Dave Dave Taylor President Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. 49 Aspen Way Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 800-SYSMARK (800-797-6275) (O) 310-544-1974 (C) 310-561-5200 (P) 800-339-1497 (F) 310-377-3550 Your Source for Integrated EDI Translation and DataSync Integration www.sysmarkinfo.com ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
