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.
