Line Print

Hello Listers,

Have any one tried printing Vertical lines in a Report. Please let me know if there is any procedure in place which wil help me
I tried some of the manuals and designed the Overlay( using the Advanced printing concepts)and tried to overlap on my custom report and in the spool i couldnot see the Lines. I even tried printing a hard copy but I still donot see any lines on my report.

Can any one please help me.

Thanks
Mark!

Assuming you are using a custom printer file, DDS supports keywords for both lines and boxes.

Here is some code you can try out, put it in a record format for a printer file and create an RPG program to write that record format. Compile the printer file with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) and send it to a laser printer on your system.

Good Luck!

I'm sure that someone has suggested using the | character in order to produce vertical lines in the past.

I've never had any reason to try it, but it seems logical.
