Intermate AS/400, i5 Activating the AFC job AFCINPUT1, Testing the new AFC definition AFCINPUT2

Step 7. Activating the AFC job AFC_INPUT1

We now press F3 to exit our AFC definition and we select option 8 to start the AFC job.

8	AFC_INPUT2	APF3812	DEMO queue for both Input and Output

End

F3=Exit F5=Refresh F6=Add F12=Cancel

Step 8. Testing the new AFC definition AFC_INPUT2

We can now try to release a demo spool entry using option 1. Create Demo Spool Entry under 12. Service Functions in the Administration menu.

If you made the changes to AFC definition AFC_INPUT1 according to Example 1, the demo spool entry will automatically be moved to AFC_INPUT2 as result of sequence line 3 (function 5=move). If you did not make the changes you will have to move the spool file manually from outq AFC_INPUT1 to AFC_INPUT2 and release it.

As in Example 1 you can try changing your default print queue to AFC_INPUT2 with the command:

CHGJOB OUTQ(APF3812/AFC_INPUT2)

Try to make a screen dump or print a log or another system report. Example:

PRTDEVADR CTL01

It will now be printed to queue AFC_INPUT2, but the formtype *STD will cause the job to print without interference from Auto Forms Control.

We will also notice that the demo spool entry (formtype DEMO) has been deleted after it has been used to generate the merged printout.
