The Reformat finishing definition

In InterForm400 you are always limited by the page breaks of the original *SCS spooled files. You never able to move information from one page to another or to change the height of the page making it possible to print more information on the final output. BUT with the Reformat finishing definition things have changed.

The reformat definition makes it possible to change the page breaks of an *SCS spooled file. It is intended for *SCS spooled files, that contains documents for different customers with detail lines. The reformat will create a new *SCS spooled file with new page numbers within each document, rearrange text for each detail line (and following text lines) and e.g. even call a user exit program to include advanced calculations for each new detail line.

In order to create a new Reformat finishing definition you select this from the InterForm400 Main Menu:

'5. Work with Auto Forms Control' '4. Finish Definitions'

Press F6=Add

State a name and description and select type: '07 = Reformat Spooled File'.
