We define that we do not want to search an overlay table, and we press Enter to get the entry field for defining the overlay:

If you have worked through section Getting Familliar with Overlay Selectors, You could enter the selector MYSELECT instead of an Overlay name.

It is very important that we define the form type to be *STD. The resulting spool entry of this AFC function will be sent back to the same queue AFC_INPUT2 and get status *RDY. That means the first two AFC definitions we defined will be executed for the new spool entry. However, the second line (9=EXIT on formtype *STD), will see to that the merged print is not processed once more by sequence line 3, but instead processed by the writer as result of sequence line 1=CHGWTR, which defined the writer to process jobs with formtype *STD.

We now press Enter to decide the spool file attributes of the merged print out.
