1887.0. "Printing probs after upgrade to V3.0, Page layout, Bold..." by ECCGY4::HAIGH (It's worse than that Jim) Tue Dec 01 1992 18:48

    
    	Since we upgraded from ALL-IN-1 V2.4 to V3.0 (german LLV), I have 
    run into some rather strange problems. Here are 3 which may be related, 
    I have tried to pin them down but can't find a refernce in the 
    Documentation or this notesfile.
    
    	1) When any user on the system tries to print, and then would like
    to hit NEXT screen from the print form (WPPARG) he gets the message 
    
    	"You can't change the WPSPLUS format of this document" (or words to
    that effect), and so never reaches page layout and so on.
    
    	I tried changing the document handling but to no avail. I tried
    $ Allin1/nocustom as well.
    
    
    	2) When printing, if a user tries to UNDERLINE some text no
    problem, but if he BOLDS it, he will see it on the screen but not on
    his hardcopy.
    
    	3) Control blocks don't work at all.
    
    	I've tried several printers and looked through the array of printer
    destnations, printer types, print styles and so on. The IVP for WPSPLUS
    went through O.K.
    
    	I realize that some of these are more likely to be WPSPLUS issues
    but I thought that this problem is almost certainly something that went
    wrong with the upgrade, or something I missed during it.
    
    
    		Thanks for your help

1887.1Is WPS-PLUS formatter being used?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ATue Dec 01 1992 19:2053

The NEXT SCREEN key is used to change WPS-PLUS formatting settings.  If you 
are printing a document which will not be formatted using the WPS-PLUS 
formatter and you press NEXT SCREEN the message:

    You cannot change the WPS-PLUS formatting settings for this document

will be displayed.  What is the Data type and Handling of the documents you 
are printing?

What type of printer are you using?  The ALL-IN-1 ASCII formatter performs
underlining and bolding by overstriking.  On a laser printer, such as an 
LN03, underlining by overstriking does work, but bolding by overstriking 
does not.



>    	3) Control blocks don't work at all.
    
Control blocks are a feature of WPS-PLUS and are only processed by the 
WPS-PLUS formatter.



All you problems suggest that your documents are being formatted by the 
ALL-IN-1 ASCII formatter and not by the WPS-PLUS formatter.  Check the 
following in your FORMAT master.

    1.  Is there a 'WPSPLUS' entry?  If not, look at OA$LIB:FORMAT_PREPOP.SCP
    	for what the entry should be.

    2.  Is the 'WPS-PLUS formatting' field set to 'Y'?  If not, this will 
    	explain why WPS-PLUS documents are not being formatted with the
    	WPS-PLUS formatter.

1887.2Local Language Problem after upgradesUTRTSC::SCHOLLAERTAJAX beats Feyenoord again and againWed Dec 02 1992 09:4414

    I think this problem occurs on ALL non-english upgraded systems.
    
    'WPS-PLUS formatting' field of the converted records in FORMAT.DAT wil not
    contain 'Y', but the language equivalent....

1887.3Did I miss it the first time? Jes! (sic)ECCGY4::HAIGHIt's worse than that JimWed Dec 02 1992 09:5110
    
    	Thanks for the answer Richard. All the documents had the correct
    handling, it was happening on LN03, DEClaser and LN03R printers. They
    were all trying to use the WPSPLUS format master. However on re-checking
    this record, I noticed that the WPSPLUS formatting field on the second
    side of the form was set to 'J', and not 'Y' like all the other fields
    were. This was obviously done by the upgrade procedure.
