  • Printer File width is 132 but the spool file width is 80

    Hi,

    facing this weird scenario. I checked the printer file width, it is 132, but the generated spool file is of width 80.

    could please help to find, what could be the reason.

    thank you!

      Is this an externally-defined or program-described print file?

      Are there any overrides in effect?

      Is it populated from an RPG program? Cobol? Java? PHP? Python? CL? REXX? Perl? Node.js? ... or... what?

      How is the file opened in the programming language? Is a record length specified there?

      When you say the width is 80, what do you mean, exactly? That it prints 80 columns across the page? That it's 80 columns in the spool? That the spooled file attributes show 80?

      Can you provide a simple sample program that demonstrates the problem? If so, that'd give us all of the above information and more.
