How do I print a FML report landscape? I changed the ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE and it stils print in PORTRAIT.

I am using Focus 7.1.3.

What do you mean by "still prints in PORTRAIT"? ORIENTATION is valid for PDF formatted reports only.

Jay,

I assume you are on a mainframe OS or Unix so try setting

WIDTH and PANEL to a number above 80.

SET WIDTH=132
SET PANEL=132

i'm using WebFocus on the desktop and want to print landscape a FML report.

Jay,

Two things:

1) Please update your signature to more accurately reflect your environment.

2) Setting ORIENTATION to LANDSCAPE does not change the printer settings. It only change the orientation of the report output. Make sure when you PRINT the report you choose Landscpae on your printer settings. If your output is PDF then you should not have to fiddle with the printer settings. Only when printing an HTML output report.

I hope this helps.

I do not use Dev Studio so I cannot help you with specifically how to tweak this in Dev Studio.

Jay, when you print from your browswer, and your print selection screen pops up, use that screen to find and change the layout from portrait to landscape; when printing from a browser, the user is in complete control of all the printing features, the browser doesn't handle any of it .

To have better control over the printer output, you're going to want to look at some ActiveX controls or the like.

For example: http://www.meadco.com/scriptx/

That's what we use, and they have a limited feature free version -- that includes portrait vs. landscape settings.
