PAGESIZE Set_Printer Message
Description
The PAGESIZE message is used to change the width and height of the page. The width and height is the actual page size, and does not include the margins or indents, so the actual printable area is equal to the page height and width minus the margins and indents.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description of Fields | Comments | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parm1 - Style | <1> Width | 8.5 | |
| <2> Height | 11 | ||
| <3> Papersize | See OIPRINT_EQUATES | Letter |
Remarks
See the OIPRINT_EQUATES in the SYSPROCS table for more information on papersize equates.
Note: Note that either the width and height, or the papersize, should be specified; if width and height are specified, papersize is ignored.
