Appendix D. AFP Resource Commands

This appendix describes how to build iSeries resource objects from font, overlay, and page segment files that are created on a client system. If you are using the Overlay Utility (part of AFPU) for overlays, you will not need the overlay commands. The Overlay Utility builds overlays directly on the OS/400. If you are using the Resource Management Utility (also part of AFPU), it provides the functions that are needed to build page segments.

Creating Font Resources

The following section describes how to create font resources.

1.Create a temporary resource file as shown below. From an iSeries command line, issue the CRTPF command to create a file to receive the PC resources. The ªCreate Physical File (CRTPF)º panel appears.

Create Physical File (CRTPF)
