Hi, I have a file created by cobol program in microfocus. This file is a report and has X'0C' at the beginning of each header to identify the page break. 

If I open this file in NOTEPAD it shows X'0C' as 'FF" before the header as shown below. But while printing this file on regular windows printer, it ignores 'FF' character (does not do page break at every 'FF') and prints normal. 

Is there a way we insert / code some character or identifier in the file in Microfocus to make that happen? 

Any quick suggestion is highly appreciated as it is a production problem. Thanks.

Hi Ashish

i recreated your issue and tried below things

a) Open the line sequential file in Notepad >> same results as of you.

b) Open the line sequential file in windows Notepad >> same results as of you.

c) Open the line sequential file in textpad  >> It worked like charm

d) Copied the content of file in word  >> it worked.

So my testing put me in derivation that file editor from which you are giving the Print also matters.

also to support my case notepad unsupported link check unsupported print features.

Let me know if this helps.
