Is there any way to get the following in Baan report

XXXX company / YYY / ZZZZ
/ Business /
/ Partners /

This type of information is placed in header.... I would like to get help in getting the " / " without breaks... if i print the report i get breaks for " / " I want it as a straight line without break.

Please give your suggestions.

Thanks,
Babu

I am not sure what you mean by breaks. Are you talking page breaks?

I am able to print the "/" character in headings in reports. I did a quick test and it worked just fine. We are on Baan 4c3 with the Unix OS. Our printing is also done thru Unix print queues.

I am hoping a little more info may help someone else solve your problem.

Good Luck!

Hi Mark

I am attaching a BMP file for you. The break when i place "/" in the second line, third line. I want to have a straight diagonal line.

Thanks,
Babu

I see what you are trying to do. What you could try is to add a user defined font on your system. I noticed in the word document that it uses times new roman. So in the $BSE/lib/printinf device driver define this font - not sure if it is possible for your printer. We use unix queues and have not really defined any user fonts - only font 14 for our logo's.

Anyway after defining the font put a report field on the report using "/" as the print expression and select the user defined font which has your font in it for your printer.

Here is a list from our printinf/h/hp_lj5 driver:

#*************************************************# Fonts
# pfont1 is Courier, non-proportional, suitable for use;
# pfont2 is Letter Gothic, non-proportional, suitable for use;
# the others fonts are PROPORTIONAL (!); 10 points; use with care
# 3=CG Times, 4=CG Omega, 5=Coronet, 6=Clarendon Condensed, 7=Univers,
# 8=Antique Olive, 9=Garamond, 10=Marigold, 11=Albertus, 12=Arial, 13=Times
#*************************************************
pfont1=\E(s0p10h0s0b4099T\E&k11.6H,
pfont2=\E(s0p10h0s0b4102T\E&k11.6H,
pfont3=\E(s1p10v0s0b4101T,
pfont4=\E(s1p10v0s0b4113T,
pfont5=\E(s1p10v1s0b4116T,
pfont6=\E(s1p10v4s3b4140T,
pfont7=\E(s1p10v0s0b4148T,
pfont8=\E(s1p10v0s0b4168T,
pfont9=\E(s1p10v0s0b4197T,
pfont10=\E(s1p10v0s0b4297T,
pfont11=\E(s1p10v0s1b4362T,
pfont12=\E(s1p10v0s0b16602T,
pfont13=\E(s1p10v0s0b16901T,
pfont14=\E&f0s6y2x1S,
pfont15=\E(s1p12v0s0b16602T,


I get really close using our user defined font #2. I am not really sure how this works if you are using windows printers. So if you can define the font this should work. Search this forum also - I believe there have been other discussions about how to use fonts.

Good Luck!

Hi,
I searched thru my ${BSE} and did not find printinf directory.
Instead I found nlsinf directory in ${BSE}/lib which had something similar files for printers but mostly non-readable characters in the files.

Any clue...
:confused:

Sorry about the late reply, but I must have missed this post. Only found it because of Babu's other post. Found this brief blurb on my knowledge quest CD.


Input and Output Conversion Table
The input and output conversion tables are stored in directory
'$BSE/lib/nlsinf'. Possible table names in this
directory are:

<terminal type>.in (input conversion terminal)
<terminal type>.out (output conversion terminal)
<printer type>.out (output conversion printer)


We are using Unix and are on 4c3. If you are on NT I am not sure how that OS works.
