ORIENTATION={DEFAULT|LANDSCAPE|PORTRAIT}
Values |
Description |
|
Uses the current printer setting for orientation. |
|
Landscape orientation (long side at top and bottom). |
|
Portrait orientation (short side at top and bottom). |
The ORIENTATION
command line keyword is effective only when
DESTYPE=PRINTER
:
If the ORIENTATION
command line keyword is not specified,
the output orientation is determined by the value of the ORIENTATION
system parameter. If the ORIENTATION
system parameter is not
set, the Orientation
property (for the Main, Header, and Trailer sections under the Paper
Layout node in the Object Navigator) specifies output orientation. If the
property value is set to Default, then output orientation is based on the
values of the Width
and Height
properties:
For landscape orientation, Width will be greater than Height (for example, 11 x 8.5).
For portrait orientation, Height will be greater than Width (for example, 8.5 x 11).
For PDF and RTF report output, any values specified for the ORIENTATION
command line keyword, ORIENTATION
system parameter, and Orientation
property are ignored. Orientation of the PDF or RTF output is based solely
on the values of the Width
and Height
properties, as above.
If ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE
for a character-mode report, you
must ensure that your printer definition file contains a landscape clause.
This keyword is not supported when output to a PCL printer on UNIX.
