Hi all,

I have problem with regards to using pg on AIX v5.3.0.0 . Here wht i am trying to do --- i have shell script with the following statements

if [ "$TERM" = vt100 ] || [ "$TERM" = vt220 ]
then
echo ^[[?3h
tput clear
pg -f $1$2
echo ^[[?3l
else
pg -f $1$2
fi

While running this on AIX v5.3.0.0, the report skips the first page and starts printing from page 2. If i remove the -f option, everything is fine i.e. i can see the report from the first page.

As per the man pages of pg, the -f option does the following

-f Does not split lines. Normally, the pg command splits lines longer than the screen width.

My program requires this option, -f.

Can someone pls guide me on how to resolve this.

Pls note: the same shell script works fine on AIX v5.2 without any problem. Also, the file sizes of pg is different in AIX v5.3 and AIX v5.2

Appreciate your help.
