Intermate iSeries, i5, AS/400 manual Creating the AFC Definition, AFCINPUT2, AFCOUT2, ASCII850

with formtype *STD in order to limit the subsystem QSPL to process jobs with this formtype only, thus leaving all jobs regardless of formtype to be processed by subsystem AUTO_FORM.:

STRRMTWTR OUTQ(APF3812/AFC_OUT1) FORMTYPE(*STD)

J TIP J

When using the same output queue for both Input and output it is highly recommended

to include the form type when starting the writer jobs in program QSTRUPPGM, in order

to be sure that the writers are started up with the correct Form Type after IPL. However this is automatically fixed, when using STRWTRCHK as described above.

M WARNING M

Note that some PC emulated writers, such as the Client Access printer session,

automatically starts the writer with FORMTYPE=*ALL when initialising. Then the only practical solution is the one mentioned first above (APF3812/STRWTRCHK).

Step 2. Creating the AFC Definition:

Enter menu 5. Work with Auto Forms Control and select option 1. Function attached to Output queues. Here we press F6 to create a new definition:

	Update Auto Forms Control Definition				AFC302D
Output queue	. . . . . .	:	AFC_INPUT2
.Library	. . . . . .	:	APF3812
Type choices and then press Enter. Press F3 or F12 to exit.

Here we define the queue to monitor should be AFC_INPUT2. We assign the same name for the AUTO_FORM subsystem job, as it will be easier to recognise the correct job when looking at active jobs.

As we will use the same queue for Input and Output for our AFC definitions, we assign the same queue name for the default output queue.

For printer and interface type we state values matching our specific printer.

There should be no criteria for changing the writer, so we press Enter twice to get the AFC function entry screen.
