First Line meaning of .bpf file


Baan provides the client based utility called BWPRINT.EXE for printing and which makes use of file having extension as .bpf.

When the files viewed using this and saved (as .bpf) and then opened as a normal text file. We see first line of the text similar to this:

@ -p "" -c 1 -f      1 -t 999999 -l  48 -m   0 -L ISO-8859-1 -a      1 -r reportname -w 120 -d P -a 1 -B "WIN"@

What this line represents?


-p is for printing device

-c is for font name as per registry

-f & -t means from - to page

-l is for lines per page

-m is for left margin

-L is for character set

-r is for report name

-w is for paper width

-d is fopr Orientation (Landscape  L or Portrait P)

-a is for number of copies

-B is for baan device name


Using this we can make our own bwprint file having the features we need. Like no. of lines per page, paper orientation, left margin, top margin....etc


:) Just do these and enjoy!!!!!!!
