IGCCHRRTT (DBCS Character Rotation) keyword

This field- or record-level keyword rotates each DBCS character 90 degrees counterclockwise before printing.

Rotation allows the system to print the characters so the printout can be read vertically. Use this keyword only for printer files to be printed with 5553 printers or IPDS™ AFP(*YES) printers. This keyword has no parameters.

Consider the following conditions when using this keyword:

Use IGCCHRRTT only with DBCS fields (the data type specified in position 35 is O or G) or with DBCS in constant fields.
IGCCHRRTT rotates characters in alphanumeric fields specified with the DDS keyword IGCANKCNV, but does not rotate other alphanumeric characters.
The system ignores IGCCHRRTT if IGCCHRRTT(*YES) is specified on the CRTPRTF, CHGPRTF, or OVRPRTF command.
If IGCCHRRTT is specified in a file created with DEVTYPE(*IPDS), a warning message appears.
Characters in a field specified with the IGCCHRRTT keyword are rotated 270 degrees with respect to the page for files created with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS). Only DBCS characters are rotated.
Option indicators are not allowed with this keyword.

Example

The following example shows how to specify the IGCCHRRTT keyword on the DDS coding form.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A*
00020A*
00030A          R TITLER                    SKIPB(3)
00035A                                      IGCCHRRTT
00040A            FLD1          400       47SPACEA(2) UNDERLINE

The printer prints DBCS characters from this format 90 degrees counterclockwise. The DBCS output can be read vertically.
