This function gives you the possibility of letting Auto Forms Control perform operations that are not contained in this system. It could for instance be to store spooled print in a spool archive. Other useful features is to make a merge using the APF3812 CL command in order to create a PCL file in the folder system as seen on page 405, or even E-mail the merged file as a PDF file using the MRGSPLFPDF command (see page 349).

Program name: A program to be called at this point

The program can be called with the following 7 parameters regarding the relevant spool entry:

An example of an exit program can be seen in the source member, FUNKT_8 in source file APF3812/APISRC.
