I am using the dds functions "PAGSEG" to print our Logo on diffrents
electronic form printed onto AFPDS printer.

That is working well.

Onto a new form we are designing we whant that Logo to have a
different size.

according to DDS specification

The format of the keyword is:

PAGSEG({library-name/}page-segment-name position-down
position-across ffl(*SIZE width | &width-field height |
&height-field) ffl(*ROTATION rotation | &rotation))

As soon as I start to use *size or *rotation or both the Logo does
not print.

Logo example . A R BOLLOGO
* BL/DL/DN LOGOS AS PAGE SEGMENTS A PAGSEG(DLUSR/DELAGAR 0.5 1.0 )

_______________________________________________________________________-
___________

No Logo example . A R BOLLOGO
* BL/DL/DN LOGOS AS PAGE SEGMENTS A PAGSEG(DLUSR/DELAGAR 0.5 1.0 +
(*SIZE 0.500 0.250)) A R BOL022O0

I would appreciate any kind of Help but I prefer not to have to carry
many pagseg for the different size of Logo I need to print.

Marc, You should report this error to your IBM service representative. At
the very least you should get a document APAR. As to your individual
situation, I suspect that your page segment contains text. The only way
that PSF can scale the page segment is for it to be in raster mode
(image). I'm guessing that if you recreate your page segment such that
your logo is an image, that the *SIZE option will work for you. I don't
recall if Host Print Transform will support scaling of the page segment
(inserted into the spooled file via the Imbed Object APF command instead of
the Imbed page segment AFP command).

I notice that you print your logo near the edge of the paper. Note that the image will not
print if any part of it is outside one of the edges. Have you tried with a position nearer
the center of the page to see if it will print a larger image?

I got a similar problem with page segments. The segment was Ok on my first page, but nothing
on the other pages. I passed the program in debug, everything was fine, but always nothing on
my other pages. I found an easy solution : I work with overlays. It is less flexible than
pagseg, but it works each time I use it.
