Note that there are no user exit programs delivered with InterForm400®, as they must be written specifically for the application or database they should integrate to.

program. If you want to overwrite the contents you need to use the CRTPBSPLF command - see page 406.

Output queue: The output queue where the resulting spool entry from the split should be sent to.

The value *NONE means that the pages are not printed, but the user exit program is called. This allows for a user exit program to take data from pages which are not printed, and transfer them to the following pages.

The rest of the values are corresponding to the spool file attributes found in a printer file (PRTF).

Blank fields equals *INPUT, which means the attributes of the original spool entry will be copied to the resulting spool entry from the split. A user exit program can overwrite these values, if any of the fields are filled out, when returning from the exit program.

The original spool entry will after the split remain untouched with status *RDY and could be processed immediately by other AFC definitions, even another Split definition.
