    Does anyone know the correct FORM to get landscape output, using approx
    255 characters per column on A3 from the LPS20 ?

Re: .1

Well, it will still be /PARAM=(PAGE_ORIENT=LANDSCAPE), you'll just have to 
tell it what paper size and what tray, and it will do the rest.

    And that's exactly what I need the help on !!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I know all about /param=(page_orient=landscape, input=middle)
    it's the /FORM=???????  I'm having trouble with.
    
    I'm using up to much of the A3 paper to keep trying all the possible
    FORM types.

The only one I can see that could help you is :-

LPS$$LANDSCAPE_A3                      1106   PrintServer40 A3 Landscape

(on SPBEXE that is.)



btw, have you tried it without the /FORM qualifier ?

    What you're suggesting, is one of the things I tried first.
    It just wraps round halfway across the page.
    
    But, I have found out how to fo it  8-)
    
    
    PRINT/NOTIFY/QUEUE=LPS20$HERRIN/PARAM=(PAGE_SIZE=A3, -
     DATA_TYPE=ANSI,INPUT_TRAY=MIDDLE,PAGE_ORIENT=LANDSCAPE) - 
    /FORM=LPS$LANDSCAPE_A3 FILE.NAME
    
    My thanks to Terry from I.S. for his help.
