Hi All, I have a file in MVS which is a concatenation of 10 zipped files(concatenation of F1.zip, F2.zip... F10.zip). Each of these files are zipped separately using PKZIP utility. But when I tried to unzip the above master file, I got only one file in the output dataset which is the unzipped...

Hi JimBrown, What we have problems with the most is the conversion of fonts when we convert from XES to PCL. The XES programs seem to use fonts like Kosmos, XCP, Titan, LG, UN etc. When we search for these fonts in the net, we couldn't come across any. The printers they print to are Xerox N24s...

Hi All, Thank You for your time... We are now checking if there is any way we can switch off/om printer control codes. Hi JimBrown, Have you had any experience with Xerox's language called XES (Xerox Escape Sequence)? I thought you may be as you have mentioned other Xerox languages like PDL or...

Hi DansDadUK, Yes, the output from QMF directly goes to the printer. We provide PCL stream at the beginning of the report that QMF creates, so they get sent along with the report. Printer control code 1 makes it skip to a new page. 1 E %-12345X...

Hi All, We are trying to print a report in Duplex mode. It was not printing in duplex despite giving the duplex command. We print the reports from a mainframe program called QMF (Query Management Facility) that is used to create a report with data extracted from DB2 database. On further...

Hi, Do you think Lexmark T630N, HP4250 and HP9050 will have resident bar code fonts? Those are the printers we use. Thanks DSARO00

The data for writing barcodes is retrieved from a database table. These barcodes will then be printed, and then pasted on customer cards.

Hi All, We have a requirement to print barcodes in reports. Any idea how this can be achieved? Is there any special font characteristic that allows barcode to be printed? Is it possible to adjust the height and length of barcodes? Thanks DSARO00

Hi, Does anyone know whether PCL has any commands to display text as superscripted? Thanks dsaro00

Hi, Does any one know what the differences are between PCL5, PCL5E and PCL6? Are there any differences in the commands supported? Do you know what version is supported by HP4250/HP9050 models? Where can I find the manuals for PCL5E and PCL6? I already have the PCL5 technical reference manual...

Hi All, 1) Do you know if any command exists in PCL that can carry forward graphics from page to page? 2) I understand that in PCL only factors of 48 are accepted for line spacing, character spacing etc (2,4,6,8,12,16 and 24). If we give any other value, the command is ignored. What if I want...

Hi All, Thank You for your inputs. Will a change in font size affect the inter-character spacing (pitch) and line spacing? Will changing line spacing affect the top margin and will changing the pitch affect the left margin? Thanks & REgards dsaro00

Hi, We issue the PCL commands from a COBOL program residing in the mainframe. I am not pasting the COBOL code here. I'll give just the list of PCL commands alone in the same order as they appear in the COBOL program. %-12345X E (s0p10v0s1b4101T *c1d6F (0N (s0p12v0s3b4101T *c2d6F (0N...

We are in the process of developing printing applications from mainframe. Our issue is with the top margin. Our top margin starts about 2 inches down from the top of the page. We want to shift the top margin up, but we are not able to. The top margin command we have used is &l0E (with a...
