Sorry if I'm boring, but I'll try once more.
I can set margins in design mode. I also can set pagesize in design mode. I
can even set pagesize with parameter in command line when I invoke
runreport.
But, here is the problem in details:
I have to print report on receipt paper an I need page 3m long. (Printer
allows that size of paper). I've adjust pagesize and margins in design mode.
But, when I try to run report from application (report should be printed
without parameter form), report is always cut off at 29 cm. (printer has a
cutter).
When I try to run the same report with parameter form, in runreport menu
File -> Page Setup, every time I can see length of page set on printer
properly (3m), but bottom margin is, for example, 55 inches. When I set
bottom margin at 0 (or some normal number), report is printed fine. But
EVERY time, I run report with parameter form, bottom margin is set to 55
inches, and report is cut off unless I manually set bottom margin. So,
margins set in design mode are not problem, but printer margins (page setup
in printer properties). When I try to print some very long text from
notepad, there weren't any problems.
Thanks for your time...
