Re. Your new InterMate/400 Forms Management System.

---------------------------------------------------

Congratulations with your new InterMate/400 software. InterMate/400 will enable you to print Electronic Forms and perform advanced data remapping and copy management of you existing SCS print data. InterMate/400 exploits the advanced features of standard HP-PCL printers and is the chosen forms management solution for several hundreds of organisations.

The following license code(s) will be needed to activate InterMate

400 permanently to your AS/400 CPU(s):

Model	P-Group	Serial No.	No. of dev.	License Code
-------------------------------------------------------------
200	P10	4449079	-	F2	E7	20	AA
F35	P20	44B2031	2	AA BB		01	23
E60	P30	44D3971	-	1A	BC	DE 44
F45	P20	44A1460	-	79	10	22	F1
F3=Exit	F12=Cancel	F19=Left	F20=Right	F24=More keys

Example 1. Sort by Type, “InterMate400" letters first:

A sort definition could monitor the field with the text “MateSert” or “InterMat”. The spool entry would then be sorted with all the InterMate/400 letters first followed by the MaterSerter letters. InterMate/400 letters will appear before MateSert/400 letters in the resulting printout, as the sort is done alphabetically on the contents of the sort fields.

Find sort fields in the following positions

Sort field no.	Print line	Position		Ascending/Descending
1	_15	_21	- _28	A
2	___	___	- ___	_

Example 2. Sort by Type, “MateSert/400” letters first:

It is not necessary to control the entire text “MateSert” or “InterMat”. As the search is done alphabetically the search could be made on column position 22 only. For InterForm letters position 22 contain the character n (second character of the word “InterMat”), and for MateSert/400 letters position 22 contain the character a. This means the sorted spool entry would have MateSert/400 letters before InterMate/400 letters. Note, that a separator page would then also only indicate n for InterMate/400 letters and a for MateSert/400 letters.
