234.0. "Printing an index" by KURTAN::WESTERBACK (After all, who is John Galt?) Fri Mar 13 1992 11:20

    Hi,
    
    A customer with ALL-IN-1 2.4 has a question regarding printing
    e.g of an index. When printed it comes out as 60 lines per page
    because that's what OA$HLS_80 says (length 66, bottom margin 6).
    
    So if he wants some index printing to be e.g 68 lines, he can
    of course change OA$HLS_80. But he wants to know if you can instead
    do this so that only a certain print operation get a specific
    format different from OA$HLS_80?
    
    Thanks,
    Hans Westerback

	You cannot get certain print operations to format differently if they use the OA$HLS_80 print form. What you have to do is use a different print form. The following can be done: 1. Create a new VMS Print form with the required settings (e.g. length = 68 lines, top margin = 0 lines and bottom margin = 0 lines). 2. Create a new ALL-IN-1 Printer Type, specifying the new VMS Print form in the Print form field. 3. In a print operation select the new Printer Type in the style field of the Printing Document form. The print job will be created using the new VMS Print form. Note that all 68 lines may not be used if the listing file is formatted to use less, e.g. has form-feeds every 60 lines. Richard
