This record- or field-level keyword specifies the horizontal printing density for the record format or field you are defining. Use CPI to:
The format of the keyword is:
CPI (10 | 15)
10 or 15 specifies the number of characters per inch.
This keyword is valid only for the 5224 and 5225 SCS printers. If you do not specify CPI, the density is set by the CPI parameter on the Create Printer File (CRTPRTF), Change Printer File (CHGPRTF), or Override with Printer File (OVRPRTF) command.
If you specify CPI at the record level, all fields in the record format are at the same density except those for which you specify CPI at the field level.
If you specify CPI at the field level, you can specify different densities for fields printed on the same line. The position you specify for each field (in positions 42 through 44) is based on the value of the CPI parameter on the CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, or OVRPRTF command (see Figure 309 and Figure 310).
When you specify CPI at the field level, overlapping fields are not diagnosed.
A warning message results at creation time if you specify CPI in a file created with DEVTYPE(*IPDS) or DEVTYPE(*AFPDS). To change the CPI, you must specify the FONT keyword (see FONT (Font) Keyword in Printer Files).
You cannot specify CPI on the same record format as the DRAWER keyword.
Option indicators are valid for this keyword.
