Return Values

This operation returns the number of print rows that can fit on a page in WPRTDATA-LINES-PER-PAGE, and the number of print columns in WPRTDATA-COLUMNS-PER-PAGE. This accounts for the current page size, orientation, and printer font. You may use this routine either before or after opening a print file.

Note: Because of the large number of variables involved with printing under Windows (for example, the font size, the paper size, and print orientation), we recommend that you use this routine to determine how many lines will fit on a page when you are formatting reports.
