Intermate i5 Getting Familiar with Overlay Selectors, Placing overlays in One File set, IF400DEMO

Getting Familiar with Overlay Selectors

The following makes use of the demo spool entry delivered with InterForm400®. You can print this from the menu 12. Service Functions under the administration menu.

Our intention is to make a selector which prints all letters of the spool entry regarding the MateSert/400 driver with the overlay IF400DEMO delivered with this system. For pages regarding InterForm we want to use the modified version MYDEMO which was created in section Getting Familiar with Overlays.

Step 1. Placing overlays in One File set

As one selector is limited to operate with overlays from the same file set, we will first make a copy of the overlay IF400DEMO from fileset SAMPLE into file set TEST. First make sure you are standing in file set TEST (check upper right corner). If not, you should change file set with option 8 on the main menu.

Enter option 1. Design Overlays on the main menu

Design InterForm 400 overlay		APF300D
Overlay name	IF400DEMO_____
F3=Exit	F4=List overlays	F12=Cancel

Here we can type in the same name as the overlay in file set SAMPLE. There will be no conflict of names, as they are located in separate file sets.

Since we are actually creating a new overlay we can use F9 to copy from another overlay/file set:
