Re: CPI override not working

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please check width field of the PAGESIZE parameter of your print file.

PAGESIZE controls how many total characters fit on a page of paper.  CPI 
controls how wide or narrow those characters will print.  The problem 
here is that the total number of characters from your RPG program is 
exceeding the total number that you've defined for the width of the page.

Reducing the CPI would make the characters print smaller -- but would 
not change how many are allowed to fit across the width.  If you say "I 
want to allow 80 characters across my page" and you set the CPI to 10, 
then you'll be able to fit those 80 characters in 8 inches.  If you set 
the CPI to 20, you'd be able to fit those same 80 characcters in 4 
inches -- but you still have the 80 character limit, because your page 
width is still set to 80.

The error message your received is about the total characters allowed 
across the width, NOT about how densely their printed... so you need to 
change the PAGESIZE, NOT the CPI.
