Re: Need Help with Printing Bold Characters

[Rick Fox <Rick.Fox@WCOM.COM>]

Here's the solution:


 let #tote = &e - &e1
 let #totf = &f - &f1
 let $e1=edit(&e1,'999,999,999')   <do the edit mask here
 let $f1=edit(&f1,'999,999,999')

 print 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' (+1,1)
 print &e (,37) edit 999,999,999
  if &e1 != &f1
   print $e1 (,55) bold
  else
   print $e1 (,55)
  end-if
 print #tote (,73) edit 999,999,999

IT WORKS!!!

Thanks for the assistance, everyone!
