Rotation as device requirement in spooled file attributes

Hello -

We are having a terrible time figuring out where the rotation under device requirements is being set for a spooled file:

Device requirements:
Final form text . . . . . . . . . . : N
Variable font . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Variable LPI . . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Variable drawer . . . . . . . . . . : N
Superscript/subscript . . . . . . . : N
Variable character ID . . . . . . . : N
Highlight . . . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Extended 3812 font . . . . . . . . . : N
Graphics 522X . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Graphics 4214 . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Graphics 4234 . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Graphics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Bar codes . . . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Rotation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Y
PC printer emulation . . . . . . . . : N
Defined characters . . . . . . . . . : N
Variable CPI . . . . . . . . . . . . : N
Transparency . . . . . . . . . . . . : N


The printer device type is *SCS like all of our other spooled files, but the rotation is an N on the others. It's erroring out in our electronic forms package and they are saying it's because of this setting.

Can anyone advise?

Thank you.
 
Typically, page rotation is handled within the print file before its created using the PAGRTT function: PAGRTT(90)

OR

its handled via a print file override prior to producing the spool file:

OVRPRTF FILE(QPRINT) PAGESIZE(68 190) LPI(8) CPI(15) +
PAGRTT(90) OUTQ(QPRINT) FORMTYPE(*STD) +
COPIES(1) HOLD(*YES) USRDTA('MyReport')

Hope this helps...

We finally found the PAGRTT on the DDS for the report file -it was PAGRTT(0). Once we commented it out, the page rotation was N.

Thanks for your assistance.
