RE: print/graphing questions

[Eric <Eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Buck,
        I would appreciate some example on how to use GDDM.  I need to create 
an 
invoice form that will have blocks (squares/rectangles) for invoice, date, 
etc.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Not that it's the right way to do it, but I use GDDM to produce charts and
graphs.  GDDM is a separate (free) part of OS/400 that specifically does
graphs, charts and various fonts (different ones than AFP uses)
 Basically, you add QGDDM to your library list and then call the GDDM
routines you need to do the work.  Check the GDDM manuals for details.  It
looks intimidating at first, but once you have a template program built,
it goes pretty quickly.  I can send you some code if you want...
