Custom Paper Size 255
Is 255 a valid Custom Paper Size outside of Sybase? The reason I ask is I am currently on PB9 which does not support 255. I have had customers call and complain about creep issues when using a custom form (8.5x7). As I looked at the code it was very easy to find - the conversion from PBU to millimeters is not a whole number and the CustomPage.Length and Width only support integers (although Help says it is a double) so it was rounding down causing the creep. So, seeing that we are moving to PB 12 in the next Qtr and that version supports 255 I am fixing the code now to support it in the future. If I find that the Units are PBU's then I expect the customer to create a windows form and assign it to the specified printer thereby fixing the creep issue. If the Units are anything else I send the 255 and convert the W/L appropriately. I am just wanting to make sure this will not have any side effects. Thanks, Chris Craft BTW - Why would the default be Millimeters which has a factor of 25.4? This almost gaurantees decimals. Anyone know the history because in PB12 they changed the help to say Long which still means PBU's to millimeters is not really supported.

I guess others have not run across this but I thought I would post my results for anyone that might need it in the future. Setting the Paper Size to 255 in PB9 causes it to not use the form set in the printers properties even though it is not supported. I ended up writing a check for the MajorVersion and if on 9 then it will exit the routine. I am still very curious as to the history of this. If anyone from Sybase can chime in I wold appreciate it.

Custom Paper Size For DataWindow
PB 8.0 We use datawindows to create custom forms which are printed on a laser printer. We would like to use a custom paper size of 13 x 9. This paper size is not listed in the dropdown of available sizes. The paper.size property is expecting a number which corresponds to the associated size. I know with labels, that you can add custom labels through the pblab80.ini file. Is there a similar method for paper size? Any other ideas?
