Re: (reports) field truncations - help me !!!

Hello,

this is a problem of the printer-drivers font handling, the screen-scaling differs from the printer-scaling. Normaly the last char is missing if you have a print-out. The is only solution : enlarge the fields approx. 5% more then nessesary for screen-output.
Sorry this problem exists since reports works with bitmap outputs. To validate this, show your report with DESTYPE = SCREEN then press the PRINT-Button in Previewer, the following message appears :

 REP-20128: Report was not run with DESTYPE=PREVIEW. Screen font remapping could cause truncation. Continue with printing?

You have the same effect with different printers ( i.e. HP vs. EPSON ).
