Print codes are only applicable to printed output.  However, since you are 
talking about using PCL, why not just generate the PCL code to put into your 
text file?  The PCL code for setting 16.7 pitch is:

     ESC (s16.6H

(You can always check the PCL print code tables to find what you need.)

So you simply use:

     CHR("27") & "(s16.6H"

wherever you need to include it in your output.

Of course, you may want to put it in a variable:

     declare Pitch167 ; Pitch167 = CHR("27") & "(s16.6H"

and then use "Pitch167" as needed.
