Hi,
I have created a report with a layout width of 143 characters. When i print the report to the device 'D' , the entire report is not shown unless I click on maximise. But the moment I click on maximise the first line of the header layout disappears from the report.
The report width in the 'Maintain reports' has been set to 145, so that isn't the problem. What i have also noticed is that when we select the device 'D' , when printing the report, the page width value on that form is displayed as 80, instead of say 132 or 145 etc.
:confused:

First I would say delete any defaults stored for ttstpsplopen. Then I would say goto maintain reports, make sure form 2 has 145. Then recompile the report. You may even want to log out and back in to make sure nothing is hung in the back ground. Try again.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick response...but could yuo tell me how to go about deleting the defaults in ttstpsplopen

In baan IV it is ttstpdeldeflt under user management. In some cases I found where users did save defaults in ttstpsplopen and eventually they became corrupt. So I first delete defaults for the user for ttstpsplopen - in some cases it acted like you mentioned, not changing the page width. The user was always told the report was too big for the printer.

Such effects happen if you change the report width inside the report layouts only. But the report itself has some information that is normally changed on form 1 of maintain reports, field report size. I'm not sure if its enough to modify the field page width on form 2 (and maybe to recompile the report).

Hi Mark...sorry for the delay ..but your solution of deleting user defaults worked . The report is now printting correctly:)
