Change to print on legal paper

[matt23lucier]

I have a progress application that creates a report and then prints it. Is there any way in the progress code that I can specify for it to print on legal size paper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

There are two issues here, page-length and paper source.

For page length: your PROGRESS code will have an 'OUTPUT TO...PAGED' statement that may or may not have the PAGE-SIZE option. The default PAGE-SIZE is 54, suitable for 11-inch standard paper. For legal-size paper set PAGE-SIZE to 84, allowing 13 inches of printed page at 6 lines per inch and a one-inch margin at top and bottom.

For paper source: if your legal paper is not in the printer's default tray, refer to thread

on how to use the PUT CONTROL statement with printer control codes. You will need to use PUT CONTROL with the appropriate printer control code to select the tray which holds your legal-size paper.
