10.5 Programming a Conventional File Report
10.5.4 Printing the Conventional Report
When you are ready to print your report, you must ensure that your system’s line
printer can accommodate the page size or form of your report. If the printer uses
a different page size or form, contact your system manager. The system manager
can change the page or form size to accommodate your report.
Section 10.7 describes the different modes for printing a report.
