If I m not wrong ......changing the FONT can be achieved thru EMULATOR OPTIONS itself.....
But I dont think ...only selected record can be done.....It applies on whole screen.....
Regards,

What is the length of the print line (is it 132 characters?)
What is the page orientation (Portrait or Landscape)?
What is the paper size (8 1/2 x 11 or 8 1/2 x 14 or 11 x 13.5)?
Is the output device an IBM AFP 3800/3820 APA printer? Or, is it a XEROX PDL printer?
You need to know all this to select the appropriate font. Basically, your dataset will need RECFM=FBA and you will need to specify TRC=Y. The first column will contain the carriage-control characters, and the second column will contain values for Table-Reference-Characters.
Let's say, for example, that the print output is 132-characters, printed on an IBM 3800 printer, landscape orientation on 11 x 13.5 inch paper. You can use a 10-pitch font, so you use:
| Code: |
//OUTPUT OUT TRC=Y,CHARS=(GT10,GB10),PAGEDEF=pdef,FORMDEF=fdef
//REPORT DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=*.OUT
|
In your data, you match your TRC values to the order you specified in the CHARS parameter. So, for normal text, you code either '0' or nothing. For bold text, you code '1'. |
