Intermate iSeries, i5, AS/400 manual Defining the Relatively Positioned Sub-form, Light

Step 16. Defining the Relatively Positioned Sub-form

When looking through the demo spool entry some may wonder why the number “2" appear in the “No. of dev.” column for InterForm400® license codes.

The customers might have had the same question, and we would therefore like to add a note next to these item lines explaining that this is a light version, and “2" means it is limited to two printers.

This is one of the more advanced features of the system, generally known as “nested overlays”.

We will have to create a new simple overlay where we will define the text we want printed when “2" appears in this column.

We press F3 to exit this overlay.

We re-enter 1. Design overlay and we create a new overlay with the name LIGHT:

F3=Exit	F4=Prompt		F9=Copy from another overlay		F12=Cancel
F13=Set view/print parameters			F14=PCL-view

We keep these default settings as the main definitions of overlay MYDEMO will have higher priority.

We enter sequence line 1 and select 5 for text:
