Re: Printing with bold

[Denise White <dewhite@VICR.COM>]

Hi Glenn,

I recently wanted to use bold font for the first time, and couldn't get it to
work at first.  I tried a lot of different things, including the #define
statement you mentioned, but nothing was working.  It turned out to be something
interesting:  I was still using the old setup .sqc files; I knew there were new
ones, but since all my programs were working fine, I didn't bother switching to
them.  I had to change

#Include 'setup01a.sqc'

to

#Include 'setup31.sqc'

Then I was able to use bold!  But the font size was coming out wrong, so I also
had to use the following (I put them at the beginning of BEGIN-PROGRAM):

   use-printer-type hplaserjet
   alter-printer point-size=8 pitch=17

Subject: Printing with bold

Hi group,
  I've been looking through the archives to see if I could figure out why I
can get the underline command to work fine, but not the bold command. I'm
running an SQR report using the standard Peoplesoft "setenv.sqc" parameters,
and I did notice that the default for the printer definition in this sqc is
"#define PRINTER_TYPE LINEPRINTER." Based on a message in the archives, I
tried changing the #define statement to the "#define PRINTER_TYPE
HPLASERJET" instead, but I'm still getting the same result - underlines work
fine, bold text doesn't print as bold. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
for your response. If you do respond, if you wouldn't mind cc'ing your
response to me directly, I would get the response sooner (I get messages in
digest mode.) Thanks!

Cheers,
Glenn Ackerson
