Re: Puzzled over DECLARE-PRINTER

Hi !!
If I have understood your problem correctly. You're unable to
print duplex and change POINT size, PITCH etc...

This is how I do. Encode and print the below escape seq. once at the
beginning of the output file.
/* Command */
encode '<27>&l1S' into $flip-over
print $flip-over ()
/* Command */



Use alter-printer to change the point size, pitch,font etc within the report
just before
the print statement. Please check all the arguments.

/* Command */
alter-printer
point-size = 11
/* Command */

Hope I did not misunderstand the problem...

Regards,
BHB

override the PRINTER-TYPE declaration made by DECLARE-REPORT, but it
does not, regardless of where it is placed within the setup section.
I've also tried using for-reports=(ALL) also with no effect.
