Problem:

When running a version of the RJS AFP to PDF or AFP to TIF converter that was compiled on a system with V5R1 and some of the report data appears to be shrinking in size when converted from AFP to TIF or AFP to PDF.

We have found a weird situation where on some systems this error can occur.

Solution:

Creating a workstation customization object that can handle a higher resolution image file may possibly resolve this issue.

Step 1: Create and Edit Object

Run the following command to create and edit the new workstation customization object.

STRSEU SRCFILE(RJSCONVERT/SOURCE) SRCMBR(QFXDFINE) TYPE(WSCST) TEXT('300 DPI Workstation Cust Object')

Step 2: Add Data to QFXDFINE

Add all of the following data to the new QFXDFINE source member and exit and save the source member

Step 3: Create Object in RJSCONVERT

Create the new workstation customization object in RJSCONVERT

CRTWSCST WSCST(RJSCONVERT/QFXDFINE) SRCFILE(RJSCONVERT/SOURCE) REPLACE(*YES)

Step 4: Change Object

Change the AFP to PDF and AFP to TIF commands to use the new workstation customization object.

Changing CPYAFPTIF to use WSCST QFXDFINE in library RJSCONVERT

CHGCMDDFT CMD(RJSCONVERT/CPYAFPTIF) NEWDFT('MFRTYPMDL(*WSCST)') 

CHGCMDDFT CMD(RJSCONVERT/CPYAFPTIF) NEWDFT('WSCSTNAME(QFXDFINE)')  

CHGCMDDFT CMD(RJSCONVERT/CPYAFPTIF) NEWDFT('WSCSTLIB(RJSCONVERT)')
