Thank you for all who replied.                                                   
                                                                                 
                                                                                 
                                                                                 
One difference I noticed between PRTF and program described is you can't use the 
overflow indicators. The PRTF will not allow alpha in the indicator area.        
                                                                                 
This makes it diifficult in trying to replicate the existing program.

 This is an IPDS keyword.  If your print stream is SCS, it will just print out   
 the text.  I don't know                                                         
 how AFP or host print transform will handle it.  IPDS is only supported on a    
 handful of IBM printers.

 Thank you, are there any examples using the Printronix printers?
