Use the printer file page size when prompting compile

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When creating a printer file in RDi, we give it the page size (lines and columns). When I compile the printer file using the Compile/Compile (Prompt) option, the default page size values for me are 66 x 132. Since I have already specified the page size, it would be nice if RDi would display those values in the prompt. That would be easier than looking at the header documentation (which requires closing the prompt window) or prompting the CHGPRTF command in green screen or using the DSPFD in green screen.


Use Case:

Open a new or existing printer file
Set the page size (Design reports radio button/Report tab/Page size)
Switch to Design mode
Select Compile/Compile (Prompt) at the top of the editor and check All parameters
Scroll down. The prompt displays 66 x 132 for page size, even though it was defined differently in RDi

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    It would be great if all overides to default parameters were saved for next time, and since you are saving team settings to the IFS, these settings should be global to the team.
