Linking a report definition to a PRSET member

You can optionally link a report definition to a PRSET member. A PRSET member contains a set of binary characters for controlling the printing or formatting of a report on a physical printer. For example, if your printer supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP), you might want to create a PRSET member that contains AFP structured fields that begin with the hexadecimal character "5A."

About this task

The binary characters in the PRSET member will be inserted when the report is printed. These characters will be displayed after the report banner page (if one is present) and before the report data.
