 |  |  |  |  |
The following error messages might be generated when ODS PRINTER is used to route output directly to a printer:
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
ERROR: Bad margins. There is less than an inch of space (horizontally or vertically) to render the output in.
It is impossible to produce useful output in so little space. Aborting.
This is most likely to occur when the NOUNIVERSALPRINT system option is in effect, and an attempt is made to change the SYSPRINT and ORIENTATION options.
To circumvent the problem, route the output to a file using the FILE= option in the ODS PRINTER statement and use system commands to send the file to a printer.
