DEFPRT Define as Printer

Format

DEFPRT (chan)col,ln

Where:

chan	Logical file number or channel of the file to define as a printer.
col	Default maximum number of columns supported by the printer. This must be an integer value, range 0 to 255.
ln	Default maximum number of lines supported by the printer. This must be an integer value, range 0 to 255.

Description

Use the DEFPRT directive to specify that a given channel refers to a printer. You can specify the default maximum lines and columns supported by the printer.

If you do not designate the file as a printer, PxPlus does not apply printer mnemonics, and the values for the MXC( ) and MXL( ) functions are not set.

You can use the DEFPRT directive for TCP files.
