*PSCALE (PRTPAGE)

PLBCMP GUI Only

*PSCALE={value}

This list control specifies the factor by which the printed output should be scaled. The apparent page size is scaled from the physical page size by a factor of {value}/100. {value} may be a numeric variable or decimal constant. This control takes affect at a Page Break Boundary.

For example, a letter-sized page with a *PSCALE {value} of 50 would contain as much data as a page of 17 x 22 inches because the output text and graphics would be half their original height and width.

Note: This control is sent to the Windows operating system without interpretation by the PLBWIN runtime. The operation of the control depends on whether the physical printer and/or the printer driver supports the control.
