Subject: FONT size on MAINFRAME
Message: I was wondering if it is possible to chnage the font size of a report heading in a cobol program. How would I do it?

| RE: FONT size on MAINFRAME
Message: You need to be able to send control characters directly to the printer - no print manager between your code and the printer. You also need to know the specific control characters that your printer uses for font. You should be able to find these from the printer manual.
For exmaple, if your printer is using Epson emulation, you would use the following syntax to change the font size to 15 characters per inch.
string x"1Bg" delimited by size
into print-line
end-string.
write print-rec from print-line after 0 lines.
Let me know if this helped.

Message: Thanks! That means then if the company changes printers, the program will have to change. It may be best to just not try to be too fancy!

| RE: FONT size on MAINFRAME
Message: Instead of hard coding the control characters, set up a record in a file that contains the necessary control characters.
Write a routine that allows you to change these characters for different printers. An alternative is to have the records for the different printers and allow the user to select the printer that must be used.
