II have a very large file I would like to SEGMENT to multiple print files. In a normal print job I would use this parameter (SEGMENT=5000). With AFP it does not work. Does AFP have an equivalent? I'm still searching for one.

Hi,

If by AFP you mean Advance Function Printing, then AFAIK - there is no such option, you might eidt the file though if small "print-files" are needed for testing. . .

Hi NASCAR9,

One option which we have available at our shop is - there is a COBOL program which segregates the "input report file" in "small" and 'large" reports based on the "page count". You may try the same approach . . .
