PRINTER-INIT

Note:

This command may be discontinued in a future release. We highly recommend that you no longer use this command. To take advantage of newer Oracle's Hyperion® SQR® Production Reporting functionality, use the INIT‑STRING parameter of the DECLARE‑PRINTER command.

Function

Sends control or other characters to the printer at the beginning of a report.

Syntax

PRINTER-INIT initialization_string

Description

Specify non-display characters by placing their decimal values inside angled brackets. For example, <27> is the ESC or escape character.

PRINTER-INIT is used only in the SETUP section and is designed for use with Line-Printer output. It has limited functionality with HP LaserJet and PostScript printers.
