549.0. "DEC formfeeds in OFFLINE output ??" by DEMAND::MADDEN () Tue May 04 1993 10:45

    I recall seeing a setting once for generating DEC formfeeds instead 
    	of Fortran form controls in OFFLINE output.  Does anyone know what
    	it is or am I mistaken??
    
    	Thanks

549.1HOLD FORMAT DOCRDGE44::ALEUC9ungry of orshamWed May 05 1993 03:0711
    Hi Richard,
    
    Try          ON TABLE HOLD AS XXX FORMAT DOC
                                             ^^^
    
    XXX.doc then has "<FF>" formfeeds, not Fortran Carriage control
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    Paul

    Yes, I'm aware of .DOC but its limited to 8 chars so I'd have to rename 
    the files.   I thought there was a way to control it in the the
    OFFLINE.
    
    Thanks

    Sorry, 
    
    but there was no mention of file name limits (is that your problem ?)
    If it is ...
    
    	FILEDEF XXX DISK MORETHAN8CHARACTERS.FILE_EXTENSION
    	TABLE FILE...
    	ON TABLE SAVE AS XXX FORMAT DOC
    	         ^^^^
    	END
    
    Cheers,
