    banquo,
    
    if this is a WPS-PLUS document then you may want to ask this question
    in FREE::WPS-PLUS otherwise you could call your local CSC for help.

    When user tries to print index using PS print style, the top
    margin is too large and there will be 3 lines only on the next page
    and an other page with large top margin and so on.
    
    Thanks

    Print index??  Try the ALL-IN-1 conference......
    

    Not sure if this is of any help, but what is your PG Page length 
    set to?  Don't forget that when printing with PS, postscript is
    measured from the bottom of the page up, so if you have a page length 
    of 63 and a vertical pitch of 6, postscript thinks the page length is
    10.5 inches long.  Measure 10.5 inches from the bottom of the page and
    this leaves quite a large top margin.  
    
    If this is the problem, make the page length about 69.
    
    Does that help?

The sequence of events when you do a PI and print to a PostScript 
destination is:

    1.	The PI option uses MERGE to create a formatted ASCII file. The page
    	length of the formatted pages is controlled by the OA$PAGE_LENGTH
    	symbol, which has a default value of 57.  The pages are separated 
    	by form-feed characters.

    2.  The ASCII file is printed to a PostScript destination.  The 
    	printing sub-system examines the type of the file and the printer 
    	destination to determine how the file should be formatted.  For 
    	ASCII formatting ALL-IN-1 normally uses the ALL-IN-1 ASCII 
    	formatter, but because this does not support PostScript output it 
    	instead uses the WPS-PLUS formatter to create PostScript output.

    	Because the WPS-PLUS formatter is reading an ASCII file it defaults 
    	the Page size to 66, Top Margin to 6 and Bottom margin to 6, which 
    	leaves 54 lines for the page contents.  The 57 line pages do not 
    	fit into the 54 lines available and therefore 3 lines overflow onto 
    	the following page.  

    	The same problem would occur if	you printed to a non PostScript 
    	printer and your system has been configured to format ASCII 
    	documents with the WPS-PLUS formatter.  Your system does not appear 
    	to be configured that way.
    


One way to fix the problem is to set OA$PAGE_LENGTH to 54 lines, which 
could be done by putting

    .fx get OA$PAGE_LENGTH = 54

into the OAINI.SCP file.

    After several months, the same customer now wants to know how to make
    the top margin smaller, any idea?

    Hi,
    
    Have a look "PostScript vertical spacing adjustment"
    in A1_FIX012030.RELEASE_NOTES.

    banquo,
    
    >Where can I get this A1_FIX012030.RELEASE_NOTES?
    
    $ back /sel=A1_FIX012030.RELEASE_NOTES A1_FIX012030.A /SAV
    
    Just kidding. Have a look at note 19.
    
    Hope this helps,

    I have installed this A1_FIX012030, but the top margin still the same,
    excessively large.  I have done everything according to the release
    note.  I have checked the vertical adjustment is 21 in the new PS.PRA.
    
    We have A1_ECO001030 and A1_MUPA030 installed before.
    
??? What could be the reason why the PS formatting still doen't work?
    
    Moreover I found that A1_MUPA030 has updated the following files which
    A1_FIX012030 will update them as well.
    
    A1WPSPLS.PS    X
    DECLASER.PRA
    DECLSRA4.PRA   X
    LN03.PRA
    LN03A4.PRA     X
    WPSPLUS.PS
    
    And the A1_FIX012030 and A1_MUPA030 provide different files which
    marked by 'X' in the above list.
    
    The A1_FIX012030 release note said that it is independent with
    A1_MUPA030.
    
??? So what version of the above 'X' files should I retain?
    
    Thanks
