I'm not sure about MVS but in in Webfocus I would say

SET ORIENTATIEN=LANDSCAPE

give it a try...

Thanks Frank,

I'll put it into a program and see how it comes out.

WebMeister,

How are you sending your output to the printer? Is it linked to the M/F or to your terminal?

If the printer to be used is a MF printer, then there are three ways to do this in FOCUS:
1. Use the FOCUS STYLESHEET facility --- it supports SET ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE
2. Embed (using HEXBYT) the necessary calling sequence in a dummy HEADING to specify orientation.
3. Route OFFLINE to a disk file(RECFM FBA) set up a MVS job, specifying orientation to do the printing.

I'd use the first option, it is the easiest by far.

Hope this helps...

Thanks to all who replied and offered assistance. I am experimenting with the use of SET ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE and that most likely will be my answer.

Again, thanks to all who offered help!
