Name of a program you want to be run after the AFPDS output spooled file has been created. Refer to ªUser Exit Afterº on page 105.

Using the Apply Print Definition Command

One method of starting APU is to use the Apply Print Definition (APYPRTDEF) command. This is the same command that is called when you manually apply a print definition to a spooled file, working from the ªWork with Spooled Filesº option that is described in ªManually Associating a Print Definition with a Spooled Fileº on page 79.

Note: Refer to ªAPYPRTDEF Commandº on page 111 for some helpful hints on using the APYPRTDEF command.

To use the apply print definition command, place the command within existing application procedures, such as a CL (Control Language) program. An example of the command is shown below:

APYPRTDEF FILE(INVSCS) JOB(098677/JOHN/QPADEV0016) SPLNBR(10)+

PRTDEF(QAPU/INVOICE) SUCCESS(*NONE) FAILURE(*NONE) DEV(PRT3130)

This command selects the INVSCS spooled file from the currently running job (either batch or interactive) and starts APU printing, using the INVOICE print definition. The new AFP output is sent to the output queue that is associated with the PRT3130 printer device.

Note: The APYPRTDEF command can also be used to run in batch.
