Setting Fonts

To select a font in SQR for PeopleSoft, use the DECLARE-PRINTER and ALTER-PRINTER commands. The DECLARE-PRINTER command sets the default font for the entire report. The ALTER-PRINTER command changes the font anywhere in the report, and the change remains in effect until the next ALTER-PRINTER command.

To set a font for an entire report, use ALTER-PRINTER, which is not printer-specific, at the beginning of the program. If you are writing a printer-independent report, the attributes that you set with DECLARE-PRINTER take effect only when you print your report with the printer that you specify with the TYPE argument. To specify a printer at print time, use the -PRINTER:xx command-line flag.
