How to skip character mode for any reqd. item in reports
Hi Everybody,
I'am printing a report in character mode through an Epson LQ-2180 printer. In this report i need to keep the print of the DOC NO. field a little bigger than the other fields.
Is it possible to skip the character mode for this particular Field i.e. the Document No. and if yes, how can I do it....
Thanks,
SFDBA

Have you tried including the Epson escape/control sequences in your SELECT statement?
- SELECT '!%&BIG'||to_char(DocNo)||'!%&SMALL' etc etc
(I've no idea what the codes are - RTEpsonM. If you need a character you can't type - I seem to remember the escape character being special - use chr(n).)

I checked on the Epson user manual. There are some codes for Font selection, font enhancement, character handling, Bit map, i'am doing trial and error on the code, i guess i'am close to the soln.

I'd first try something simple to test the principle . . . I've found an old manual (written by the venerable Bede in about 647AD). According to that
- Select chr(27)||'E'||to_char(DocNo)||chr(27)||'F' etc etc
has a good chance of giving you that field in bold.
