132 Columns in Quick on HP3000

[Joe Boyle]

how about setting up a dummy/stopped print queue and then observe the file
name that PH uses for the list output file; then do something like :

procedure designer dumy
begin

if not setsystemval ("sys$print", dummy_q, logical, "lnm$proc"/"lnm$job")
then "error setting q"

push list

copy "list output filespec" [holddir]

del "list output filespec"


if not setsystemval ("sys$print", default_q, logical, "lnm$proc"/"lnm$job"))
then "error resetting q"

print [holddir]output filespec

end



actionmenu label "LaserPrint" action designer dumy menukey "L" 

procedure designer on_wide 
   run command "set queue/form=landscape_60 SYS$PRINT"

The setsystemval call should set the logical in the current process.


regards, Joe.

You could try stopping/stalling the queue and then editing the file to see
if it actually contains a 132 wide screen shot, if not, (and assuming the
chap is on a desktop) tell the chap to paste the printscreen contents into
word and select print :(

I have a related question: 

I have a 132 column screen and the client would like the screen print to
show 132 columns. The default form for SYS$PRINT is an 80 column form. So I
tried putting a designer command at the start of the command list to set the
queue to a 132 column landscape form -

actionmenu label "LaserPrint" action designer on_wide, list, designer
off_wide    menukey "L" 

procedure designer on_wide 
   run command "set queue/form=landscape_60 SYS$PRINT" 

Stepping through in debug I can see in another session that the form has
changed but it has no effect on the LIST action which prints 80 columns,
truncating the rest. I have full privileges on the queue and can change the
form in DCL.

Can anyone explain why this doesn't work, and/or suggest an alternative
approach? 
TIA, Martyn

Use the FROM and TO options of the SCREEN statement.

We need to use a quick screen with 132 columns. The ref books do not 
exactly explain this. 
We are on PowerHouse version 8.49D1 and HP MPE/iX ver C.70.00. And we 
are using Minisoft ver 5.3 that support 132 columns (and more). I 
submitted this question to Cognoise site and one person answered "I know 
Quick supports 132 columns...  I think there is a SET statement for it" 
Does anyone know for sure? 

Thanks in advanced!
