The purpose of this category is to control whether 132 or 198-character-wide reports will be printed when certain financial reports are requested from the General Ledger and Accounts Payable menus.  A default value with a blank key is set up and may be changed to print 132- or 198-character-wide reports.  Specific exceptions to the default may be set up by adding records with the program name(s) that you require to produce output different to the default.

198-character-wide reports are necessary if you are in a large amount environment (where currency amounts in the General Ledger approach the system's limit) to ensure that financial information is reported accurately.  Also, additional columns on certain reports can only be seen if the report is printed as a 198-character-wide report.

For a full list of reports that are affected by this category, see the Overview Section of the General Ledger User Manual.

Note:  If you require 198-character-wide reports, you must ensure they are printed on a printer that can print 198 characters per line.

PROGRAM NAME

Optional.  This field is blank for the default entry.  If you require certain reports to produce output different from the default, enter the program name(s) specified in the user manual for the particular report.
