How do I select 11x17 paper size using WIN$PRINTER?
Question:
Setting the paper size to WPRT-11x17 does not work. How can I get 11x17 printouts?
Answer:
In isCOBOL APS, the WIN$PRINTER library routine is implemented using platform independent Java technology that does not support all of the paper sizes.
The following paper sizes are not supported:
88 wprt-statement value 6.
88 wprt-11x17 value 17.
88 wprt-note value 18.
88 wprt-env_dl value 27.
88 wprt-env_c65 value 32.
88 wprt-fanfold_us value 39.
88 wprt-fanfold_std_german value 40.
88 wprt-fanfold_lgl_german value 41.
However, the following two settings ARE supported:
88 wprt-tabloid value 3.
88 wprt-ledger value 4.
wprt-tabloid is "Tabloid 11 x 17 in"
wprt-ledger is "Ledger 17 x 11 in"
So to get 11x17 printouts you can SET WPRT-TABLOID TO TRUE and then call WIN$PRINTER with the WINPRINT-SET-PRINTER-EX operation code.
