Specifying lines per inch spacing

For line data and XML data print jobs, the page definition controls the spacing of the print lines on the page. The following examples use page definitions supplied with PSF to specify different lines per inch (lpi) spacing for traditional line data.

Examples:
  1. This example specifies printing at 8 lpi on a 3800 printer. Page definition P106080 prints 60 lines in the ACROSS direction on forms 12 inches wide and 8.5 inches high. The job also specifies the GT12 font, recommended for this page definition.
    //AFPUSERA JOB ...
    //STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERA
    //OUT1  OUTPUT PAGEDEF=06080
    //PRINT DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1),CHARS=GT12
       /*
  2. This example prints at 8.5 lpi on a non-3800 printer. Page definition P1V06683 prints 66 lines in the DOWN print direction on letter-sized paper. The job also specifies the 60D8 font, recommended for this page definition as suitable for printing at 8.5-lpi spacing.
    //AFPUSERB JOB ...
    //STEP1 EXEC PGM=USERB
    //OUT1  OUTPUT PAGEDEF=V06683
    //PRINT DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUT1),CHARS=60D8
       /*
