Help on Mailing Labels

You seem to have the set formfeed command commented out.

If you put this back it should solve your problem. However you need to make
sure that your printer is set to the correct page length.

Also you may need to use something like

Page Heading " " skip 2 " "

Page footing " " skip 2 " "

Subject: Help on Mailing Labels


This is pretty embarrassing, but I'm trying to move from mailing labels
produced on a line printer to ones produced on a laser printer.  The laser
sheets have margins at the top & bottom of the page of approximately one
inch.  I'm using Quiz 7.33.D3 on Unix 10.20.

My problem is that I can't get Quiz to generate a form feed to go to the
next page ... it just keeps putting in lines to jump to the new page, but
that doesn't work worth beans due to the margins at the page top/bottom.
(Note that the labels themselves are right on top of each other ... I have
the spacing correct in the labels themselves).

Here's my code ... I don't want to have to resort to Cobol!

ACCESS WATCH-BOOK

SEL WATCH-BOOK  IF      WB-DEAD-DATE    =       " "

SORT ON LAST-NAME
;
; SET REPORT NOLIMIT
set rep lim 40
SET REPORT DEVICE printer NAME fj211l
SET PAGE WIDTH 40
SET PAGE LENGTH 9
SET PAGE IMAGES 2
SET NOHEAD
; set formfeed
;
page heading skip 6
  
REPORT                                                          &
        SKIP 3                                                  &
       TAB 10 WB-FULL-NAME                                      &
       SKIP                                                     &
       TAB 10 MAIL-ADDR1                                        &
       SKIP                                                     &
       TAB 10 MAIL-ADDR2                                        &
       SKIP                                                     &
        TAB 10 POSTAL-CODE      PIC "^^^ ^^^"                   &
        SKIP 2

GO

EXIT

Thanks in advance.
