I'm formatting for a 1403n6 logical device, but I'm really printing on a different vendor printer. The table rules I'm getting don't come out right. Some of the characters don't print, or print some inappropriate character.
I want to make the tables use rules done with the TRM box character set, but I can't get it to work.
The book says that the TNC box character set is used by default. I tried using .bx char trm but that only changed the boxes I make with .bx, it didn't affect the table rules.
How can I do this?
The table rules are defined in the DSMPROF4 profile. If no special rule
is defined for 1403, table rules are created with the default 1403 box
character set font which is TNC.
To use a different box character set for tables, you have to redefine
the rules used by tables by overriding the definitions in DSMPROF4
or the DSMRDEF macro.
You could create a modified profile, or override the definitions in
a specific document. For example, you could add the following lines
to the top of your document.
.df mybox BOX TRM
.dr mytabr FONT mybox
.gs args mytabr mytabr mytabr mytabr mytabr
.gs vars @thrules @tvrules @rhrules @chrules @cvrules
