Question Font Size In Progress

[Mani Rathinam]

Hi,

How to increase the font size of the output which we print. I hope it will be using the "Put control chr()" But I dono how to do that.

For eg.

Put "Hello" - Prints with Font size-12

I need to print it with Increased font size.

How can i achieve this in progress ?

Thank Larry These command will work only for printers right ?? These wont work if we save those as files ?? LIKE "OUTPUT TO FILE"..

Yes, it's only for printers. You can save it to a file, but the commands there are PCL (Printer Control Language) and would only look like text in any sort of text editor. And you would see all those escape sequences.

If you want a more "universal" save to a file and/or print you might want to either create a Word document (if on Windows) or better yet a pdf file.

PDF files can be created from Progress using PDF Include ( http://www.oehive.org/pdfinclude ) or if on *nix there are a number of convert various file formats to pdf utilities.
