Re: PDF Limitations

[Pamela Lantzy <PLantzy@UAMAIL.ALBANY.EDU>]

Ok, the SQR original was printing the results to the printer, I changed it
to create a pdf file (adding SQR flag).  Is there something addtional within
the SQR besides print statements?

TOC = Table of Contents.

SQR Always creates the SPF file first. That's just the way SQR operates.
 It then takes the SPF File and converts it to the .lis (or other
format).

Ray,

I'm not sure what TOC is?   I am running this through the PS process
scheduler, appending the -printer:pd flag in the process defintion.

Here is the command line taken from the process monitor

Command Line = prcs_sqr UASFUHSI SYSADM/%ACCESSPSWD%@HE76DEVL
-f<OUTPUTDIR>
'-printer:pd' 63500 UBSPLL BILLING

I noticed in the output directory, that while the SQR runs it generates
a
.spf and then it converts it to .lis could this be the problem? How
would i
prevent the .spf file being created originally?

Thanks,
Pam

Hi Pam,

I think that prior to SQR 4.3.3 there was a limit of 1000 pages
in a PDF file.  I think that it was raised to 5000 pages
in SQR 4.3.3.  That's the only PDF-related limit of which I'm
aware.  Do you have an unusual number of TOC entries?  Anything
else that might be suspicious?
