Appendix C. APU Helpful Hints

APYPRTDEF Command

When you are applying a print definition to a spool file using the APYPRTDEF command, a line appears on the bottom left of the display as an indicator of the processing phases. The line contains 3 asterisks(***) in eight different positions.

Refer to ªProcessing Phasesº on page 103.

APU Defaults

vWhen initially setting APU defaults, we recommend that you ensure that any libraries where code pages exist have been added to your current library list. Command line capability does not exist within APU to add any libraries from this display.

vAn administrator must ensure that enough library list entries are available during APU execution for the additional resources listed in the ªSet APU Defaultsº panel.

Maximum APU Values

Because APU builds structure into the document design, some limitations exist on those structural elements, as shown below.
