Terry, Sorry for the delay, I had to look up my old programs from my manual archives :-) Yes, you can do GDDM and AFP together on the same page! You need to create a normal AFP printer file to use the BARCODE keyword. You can also put plain text on the page if you want to. Once you have the printer file settled, you will use THAT file for your GDDM work instead of QPGDDM. The trick is to do the FSINIT, DSOPEN and DSUSE before you OPEN the printer file. I will email you a complete sample, but here are the salient points: FGRPRTF O E PRINTER UC C* Initialise graphics C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'FSINIT 'GPARM 8 C* Prepare printer C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'DSOPEN 'GPARM C PARM 2 I01 C PARM 1 I02 C PARM 'IPDS 'C08 8 C PARM 0 I03 C PARM IA01 C PARM 1 I04 C PARM 'GRPRTF 'C10 10 C* Using printer C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'DSUSE 'GPARM C* Put some text print on printer for testing C OPEN GRPRTF C WRITETEXT C* Put some AFP print on printer for testing C MOVE *ALL'1234'BARCOD C WRITEAFP C* Print fancy text C* LOAD CHAR SET C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'GSLSS 'GPARM C* SELECT CHAR SET C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'GSCS 'GPARM C* Fancy name C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'GSCHAR 'GPARM C* Print a pie chart C* SET CHART AREA TO 50% OF PICTURE SPACE C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'CHAREA 'GPARM C* PERCENTAGE PIE CHART C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'CHSET 'GPARM C* Set key attributes C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'CHKEY 'GPARM C* DRAW THE HEADING C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'CHHEAD 'GPARM C* DRAW THE PIE C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'CHPIE 'GPARM C* Send picture C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'FSFRCE 'GPARM C* Terminate processing C CLOSEGRPRTF C CALL 'GDDM' C PARM 'FSTERM 'GPARM C SETON LR Buck Calabro Aptis; Albany, NY mailto:Buck.Calabro@aptissoftware.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Richardson > Sent: Thursday, September 16, 1999 7:52 AM > To: 'MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com' > Subject: Calling all GDDM experts > > Hopefully someone out there can tell me if it's at all possible to produce > a > barcode with GDDM.
