2737.0. "Storing Print Settings in 3.0" by MERIDN::WALSH () Thu May 20 1993 22:52

    In ALL-IN-1 version 2.4 I used WPPRINT to print an output file (the
    result of a MERGE_LIST).  I stored various print settings in setting #9
    and then loaded the symbol #QMENU with the number of the setting
    before calling WPPRINT (I also loaded #PRINT_PRINTER and other symbols
    as well).  In 2.4 everything worked great but in version 3.0, it seems
    that the 'from page' and 'to page' settings are NOT stored.  Is this 
    true?  Is there another way to load the value of the 'from page' and 
    'to page' settings so that I can still use WPPRINT?
    
    Thanks for any help,
    Kristen

2737.1	Change in WPS-PLUS V4	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Fri May 21 1993 11:21`	17
	The 'from page' and 'to page' are WPS-PLUS Formatter Print settings. In WPS-PLUS V4.0 and V4.1 the 'from page' and 'to page' are not saved in the document. This change was made to overcome the problem of users mailing WPS-PLUS documents with 'from page' and 'to page' set which resulted in all recipients of the document only seeing part of the document unless they explicitly modified the WPS-PLUS Formatter print settings. It appears that 'from page' and 'to page' are also not saved in the #0 to #9 saved settings. I don't see any reason to prevent this because the mailed document problem is only concerned with saving the values in the document. I don't know of any way of overcoming the WPS-PLUS V4 way of handling saved settings, but you could ask in the WPS-PLUS conference. Richard
2737.2	Using 'User Defined Print Styles'	MERIDN::WALSH		`Mon May 24 1993 16:31`	8
	It seems to me that the 'from page' and 'to page' are also not saved as part of a USER DEFINE PRINT STYLE off the US menu. Is that true? If they are 'saved', would there be a way to pass the name of the print style in to WPPRINT and thus have the values of the from and to pages used? Thanks again, Kristen
2737.3	Yes and No	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Mon May 24 1993 19:39`	29
	The WPS-PLUS Formatter 'from page' and 'to page' print settings are not the same as the ALL-IN-1 Print Style 'First page' and 'Last page' settings. The former tells the WPS-PLUS Formatter to produce a partial listing file, and is therefore only available if you print a document that will be formatted by the WPS-PLUS formatter. The latter instructs a VMS Print Symbiont to print a sub-set of the pages of a listing file, and is available for all types of documents assuming that the listing files are suitable for partial printing. It is equivalent to the PRINT/PAGES DCL command. All values of an ALL-IN-1 User Print Style are saved if you create your own style. If you use Gold-Expand on the Print Document menu any changes are for the current print operation only and are not saved. You could create your own print style and call WPPRINT with that specified in the #PRINT_TYPE symbol. Not all listing files can be successfully partially printed using 'First page' and 'Last page'. For example, a listing file may contain initialization or control sequences which are used for several pages. If the page containing the required sequences is not printed subsequent pages may not print correctly. What type of printer are you printing to? Richard
