RE: [sqr-users] Creating Multiple Reports: Converting from Declare Printer to Declare-Printer

["Katchur, Ken SS" <Ken.Katchur@govmail.gov.sk.ca>]

        Hi All,

        Steve, I commented out only this line: 

        !     init-string =
<27>E<27>(0N<27>&l1O<27>&l8D<27>&l5E<27>&l66F<27>(s16.66H

        and I added this line:

          alter-printer point-size=6 font=3


        I got the same results where the characters are overlapping/printing
over top of each other in the LIS files.  The SPF files are okay.  Maybe I
have problems with my column size????


                              Thanks Ken

Converting from Declare Printer to Declare-Printer

        Hi Ken,
        I would look carefully at the HP init-string. the command <27>&l8D
sets your
        printer to 8 lines per inch. (i.e. each line is 72/8 = 9 points
high),  But
        your grid says each line is 8 points high (    line-height = 8, or
in the
        old code   lines-inch=9).  When you specify point-size=6 you won't
see the
        problem, but when you comment that out then you see the problem.

        You should make your SQR grid size match your PCL code.  Ideally you
should
        remove the init-string, and let SQR control the printer, I can't see
        anything in that init string that can't be controlled by SQR, (but I
may be
        wrong about that, PCL is a bit hard to read!)

        You could also add
        alter-printer point-size=6 font=3
        to the beginning of your program to force all output to use 6 point
font,
        then you should get the same results for the SPF and the PCL.

        Cheers, Steve.

Declare
        Printer to Declare-Printer


        First of all thanks in advance!!!!

        I am worked with Peoplesoft and SQR for a 1 year about 4 years ago
and I am
        back working with it.  So my experience was limited and is rusty.
So I
        consider my self a rookie again.

        My shop uses SQR 3.0.12.4
        I am working with Financials 5.12.42

        I am creating an SQR that creates multiple reports from an old
report that
        creates a single report.

        I am having problems creating both the .lis files and the .spf files
at the
        sametime.

        I am converting from an old declare printer command to the use of
        Declare-Printer, Declare-Report and Declare-Layout.

        Here is the declare printer that was in the old SQR:

          declare printer                                       ! Declare
printer characteristics.
          ! type={Laser}                                        ! Types are
POSTSCRIPT, HPLASERJET,
          left-margin=.25  top-margin=.25                       ! or
LINEPRINTER
          font=3                                                ! Font
number.
          font-style=fixed
          ! symbol-set=0U
          lines-inch=9                                          ! 6lines per
inch
          point-size=6
          char-size=4.32
          orientation=Landscape                                 ! Or
Portrait

        Here is what I have tried:

        When I use this code below without commenting anything out I can
create the
        .spf
        files ok but the .lis files are all messed up.  The format is all
        overlapping.


        When I comment the lines that are commented out below the .lis files
are
        okay and
        the .spf files are not.  The .spf format is all overlapping.

        Begin-Setup

           #Define ColR 160  !Column # referenced by Standard Headings

           declare-layout Combined_Clients
             left-margin = .25
             top-margin  = .25
             orientation = Landscape
             char-width  = 4.32
             line-height = 8
             paper-size  = (11,8.5)
             max-lines   = 58
             max-columns = 177
           end-declare

           Declare-Report Combined_Clients

        !     Printer-Type = HP
             Layout = Combined_Clients
           End-Declare

           Declare-Report Summary

        !     Printer-Type = HP
             Layout = Combined_Clients

           End-Declare

           DECLARE-PRINTER CMB_CLNT
        !     type=hp
        !     font=3
        !     font-type=fixed
        !     point-size=6
             init-string =
<27>E<27>(0N<27>&l1O<27>&l8D<27>&l5E<27>&l66F<27>(s16.66H
           END-DECLARE

        End-Setup
