Intermate iSeries, i5, AS/400 manual File Naming Finishing Definition, Receipient Key Definition

The File Naming Finishing Definition

By creating a finishing definition of type '06 = PDF File naming' you can create PDF files in InterForm400 using advanced functions - without any programming! You can use information from the spooled file to break up the spooled file as it is merged into PDF files and let information from the spooled file be a part of the PDF file name and/or the path where it is placed.

The functionality is simular to the E-mail/fax finishing definition but more advanced. You can e.g. define and use up to 34 variables (and 3 keys) for the path and PDF file names and use exit programs for the variables if necessary.

In order to get PDF output you need to purchase the PDF module or the classic package for InterForm400.

When you create a new PDF file naming finishing definition you will see this screen:

1. Receipient Key Definition

This function works exactly as '1. Key definition' for the e-mail/fax finishing definition. You can define up to 3 keys identified as *KEY1-3. They can be referred to in the PDF file name/path later in '3. PDF File Name Composition'.

The keys are also used in '6. Receipient ID Information' where you can state a PDF password depending on who the PDF file is intended for. You can also let a user exit program return the passwords to be used. Refer to source file APF3812/APISRC member PNMEXIT for more information. A program based on this source can be called with &Entrystep = '*ID'.

Refer to page 197 for more information of definition of the keys.
