Pressing the Print key creates a one-page facsimile of your display. This function works well, but until V2R1, there was no built-in method to identify who created this screen image. Now OS/400 has a new system value, QPRTKEYFMT, which can have one of four different values:
*PRTHDR, which includes a header (printed above the screen image) listing the date, time, user profile name and display station name.
*PRTBDR, which prints a border around the screen image, complete with scales numbering lines and columns.
