Is there a comperable command to Get_Printer("DEVICES"), so having selected the printer, I can SET the selected printer?

I had expected to find that with the Set_Printer command - but that would be too easy :smile:

And while we are on topic of printing - how do I modify the inter-line spacing in a table. Tried the Set_Printer('FONT',FontAttrib,120) to get 120% spacing but no change.

THis with OIv9.3.1

Hi, Richard. To answer your first question, you can specify the printer you wish to print to in the INIT message to SET_PRINTER. This implies, of course, that you call the GET_PRINTER("DEVICES") function _before_ you call the SET_PRINTER("INIT",…) function…

Hope that helps,

Bryan,

Thanks for that. Must be too many late hours.

<you can specify the printer you wish to print to in the INIT message to SET_PRINTER>

Yes, there it is as Param 6.

And as clarification to the problem < …the inter-line spacing in a table. Tried the Set_Printer('FONT',FontAttrib,120) to get 120% spacing but no change.> was with the Client_Setup from OIv3.1.3 beta2 - but in defense expect OIv3.1.2 Client_Setup to be same.

Cheers

Have you had a look at the TableCell properties and TAbleCell_Equates

Thanks Chris for the good suggestion.

By using Set_Printer("TABLECELL", TcRowHeight$,…..) and setting the ADDTABLE coumn format '+' to vertically center text, I was able to achieve the appearance more space around text in cells ie. an increase in interline spacing.
