You can also do this with font keyword, just another way to skin a cat.

But as for your issue at hand, you mention you changed device type, is that
on the print file or the printer device description.

Is your printer *IPDS capable (it does not sound like you have an IPDS
emulation
card in that printer if it is a *lan class)

The printer device must also be set to advanced print function *yes.

You may need either a card, or I remember someone hear not long ago
has used a software solution - check out the following  www.twindata.com .

Subject: Enlarging text on printer file for 1 field only not whole
report.

I have been trying to enlarge the text on 1 field in an externally described
print file with no luck.

I changed the device type to an *AFPDS and keep the std defaults for 6 LPI
and 10 CPI.  I set a field level keyword CHRSIZ and still can't get the
field to print larger.

I'm sending to a Lexmark laser printer connected to 400 as direct physical
connection, *LAN device class, and font identifier 11. Mfg type and model in
device desc is *LEXOPTRAT.

If I set CHRSIZ to CHRSIZ(1 1) it prints but in regular size text.  If I
change it to (2 1), (2 2), or (3 3), I get nothing.

I'm not sure if something needs changed in the printer device description or
in the printer file description.

Can anyone help, Pleeezzzz?

Thanks,
Stephanie
