I need to migrate some unix Reports (version 1) to Reports 3.0 in a Windows environment.
I used the r25mov32 migration tool to generate the new printer definition files and the reports.
I have trouble with one printdef file (or maybe the problem is in the report itself - but I don“t think it“s the case). The original printdef file is like this
FF|CHRONOS|CHRONOS:\
:ap:\
:co#264:li#66:\
:cr=^M:\
:ff=^L:\
:nl=^J:\
:se=\EF:\
:so=\EE:\
:ue=\E-\000:\
:us=\E-\001:\
:001=\ :\
:002=\”:\
:003=\¢:\
:004=\£:\
:005=\¤:\
:006=\°:\
:007=\E:\
:008=\
:
The new printdef file after the conversion is like this
printer "CHRONOS"
autopage
width 264
height 66
return control (M)
after page control (L)
linefeed control (J)
When I run the report, the Report Background Engine (r30rbe32) states that the printdef file is not correct. It doesn“t recognize the slash character (\) in the codes 1 to 8.
The codes I need to put in this printdef are

When I run the report, the Report Background Engine (r30rbe32) states that the printdef file is not correct. It doesn“t recognize the slash character (\) in the codes 1 to 8.
The codes I need to put in this printdef are
code "001" = ascii code 160 code "002" = ascii code 161 code "003" = ascii code 162 code "004" = ascii code 163 code "005" = ascii code 164 code "006" = ascii code 176 code "007" = the escape character code "008" = the carriage return
I use this codes in the "printer code before" and "printer code after"
properties of the objects in my report layout.
This report is used to print checks. The printer recognizes the ascii
codes I listed above.
How can I accomplish this? Does someone has any clue? Any suggestions
will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
