545.0. "Print orientation selection" by BACHUS::WAUTERS (Only stupid people think they know enough) Fri Feb 26 1993 10:46

    Hi Dear All,
    
    
    Facing FOCUS for the very first time of my life, I have an ( easy ? )
    question concerning the printing of reports.
    
    We've sold to a customer an application using FOCUS to generate
    reports. This is just to say that we do not perform FOCUS
    programmation, hence our lack of knowledge.
    
    Here is the question : the reports are sent to a landscape queue
    because this is most of the time what the user needs. Now, some reports
    should be printed in "portrait". Is there a FOCUS command to allow this
    ?
    
    I've had a quick look in the FOCUS orientation and have not seen
    anything related to that.
    
    Can a FOCUS guru help me ?
    
    Thanks and regards.
    
    
    Philippe

	There is a Focus command -> SET WIDTH=80 and print the report on the right queue.

	Thanks for your answer, but it is not the width that has to been changed, but the page orientation ( landscape <-> portrait ). Any clue ?

	Hi, FOCUS will not create output in any particular orientation that I am aware of. You'll need to figure out the escape sequences to send to the printer if you don't have an ORIENTATION switch you can use on your print command. Or if you have 2 different queues just set one up to print LANDSCAPE and the other to print PORTRAIT. This change is hardware not software controlled. Sharon
