Intermate iSeries, i5, AS/400 manual Pri

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:

	Update AFC-functions attatched to output queues				AFC305D
Output queue . . . . . . :			AFC_INPUT2
Library . . . . . . . :			APF3812
Seqnbr Funct		Form type	Save Jobname	Filename Device file	Program
0001	F	Change writer: *OUTQ Form type: *STD
0002	9	*STD
		Exit

Seqnbr Function
3,0	1	Merge with overlay
		Overlay name	IF400DEMO_
		File set	SAMPLE____
		or overlay selector	________
		Primary/Secondary set . . . .	*PRI	*PRI, *SEC
		Form type	*STD______
		Copies of each page	*INPUT	*INPUT, 01-99
F3=Exit		F4=Prompt		F12=Cancel

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.

		Output spooled file name . __________ *INPUT, Name
		User data . . . . . . . . IF400DEMO_ *INPUT, *JOB, *USER ...
		Seperator drawer . . . . . ________	*NONE, *DEFAULT, Nummer
		Hold output spooled file . *NO_	*NO, *YES
		Save output spooled file . *NO_	*NO, *YES

As user data we state the same name of the overlay, which will allow us to verify the spool entry on the output queue AFC_INPUT2.
