**PAPER( **[//type//] [,//width//] [,//height//]**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **PAPER** | Defines the paper size for the report. |
| //type// | An integer constant or EQUATE that specifies a standard Windows paper size. EQUATES for these are contained in the [[commonly used equates.htm#paperequates|EQUATES.CLW]] file. |
| //width// | An integer constant or constant expression that specifies the width of the paper (PROPPRINT:paperwidth, equivalent to {PROPPRINT:PAPER,2}) |
| //height// | An integer constant or constant expression that specifies the height of the paper (PROPPRINT:paperheight, equivalent to {PROPPRINT:PAPER,3}). |

The **PAPER** attribute (PROPPRINT:PAPER) on a REPORT structure defines the paper size for the report. The //width// and //height// parameters are only required when **PAPER:User** is selected as the //type//. Not all printers support all paper sizes.

The values contained in the //width// and //height// parameters always default to 1/1000 inch units, regardless of the absence or presence of the THOUS, MM, or POINTS attribute.

**Example:**

**CustRpt1 REPORT,AT(1000,1000,6500,9000),THOUS,****PAPER****(PAPER:User,8500,7000)**
