I am trying to save a report generated by reports 2.5 in ascii text format. I am setting the report parameters as follows:
DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=file name
MODE=CHARACTER
The problem is the file is 80 columns no matter what other parameters are set.
I have set ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE and DESFORMAT=wide, but they seem to have no
effect. Also, the date fields in the report appear as ****** in the ascii
file. If I change to MODE=BITMAP, the file comes out in PostScript format,
which I don't want. Is there any way to get ascii text with 132 characters
and the dates appearing correctly?
Thanks for any help in advance! Please email any responses as well as posting to this group.
