VMS seems to have trouble with accounting when printing files with
no formfeeds. Whenever we print a file with no formfeeds with the /NOFEED
option, it counts only 1 page (for a 10,000 page listing).
Our accounting package also tries using lines printed based on "GETs from
source", but this number is never the same if we print the same file to
different queues (for instance a file with approx. 1700 lines generated
8758 gets on an LP11 type device and only 1722 on a terminal queue device).
Any suggestions or explanations? Thanks.
