Appendix G - Limitations of the Light Version

The following are rules given for the Light version:

1.Spool entries for manual merge can only be selected from the queues named AFC_INPUT1 and AFC_INPUT2.

2.The program will support only two sets of AFC print queues. These queues are named AFC_INPUT1, AFC_OUT1, AFC_INPUT2 and AFC_OUT2. The queues can be mixed (e.g. AFC_INPUT1 ->AFC_OUT2), and input from e.g. AFC_INPUT1 can, by the existing AFC functions, be split up to print merged data to both AFC_OUT1 and AFC_OUT2.

3.The queues AFC_INPUT1 and AFC_OUT1 is the set of queues installed according to the Getting Started section. These queues can of course be used in production also, but care should be taken when calling the program AFCINSTALL as all definitions in the AFC definition AFC_INPUT1 will be overwritten by the sample definitions.

4.All 4 queues must be placed in the library APF3812. Therefore, in the screen shown when choosing F6=add under 1.Functions attached to output queues, the Library field will not be displayed.

5.Make sure the Light code is entered in the old version before making a Release Update (APFRELUPD). (make sure the Main Menu indicate Light before you rename the APF3812 library to APF3812OLD). If the light code is not entered prior to the update, the AFC definitions in the AFC job/queue AFC_INPUT1 in the new version will not be updated with your AFC definitions from library APF3812OLD.

6.When running a Release Update, existing AFC definitions, other than

AFC_INPUT1 and AFC_INPUT2, will be updated as well, even though the Light code has been entered prior to the Release Update.

However, it is the customers responsibility to change the Output queue and the AUTO_FORM job names of these AFC job/queues to either AFC_INPUT1 or AFC_INPUT2, or to set Auto-start = N for the AUTO_FORM jobs.

7.Attempts to start AFC jobs with other names than AFC_INPUT1 or AFC_INPUT2 will result in error conditions.

It is the customers responsibility not to start AFC jobs with other names (avoid by setting Auto-start job = N).

8.Attempts to start the AFC jobs AFC_INPUT1 or AFC_INPUT2 (updated by a Release Update) with AFC definitions containing other queue names than AFC_INPUT1/2 or AFC_OUT1/2, will result in error conditions.

It is the customers responsibility not to change the names.

9.Output queues (updated by a Release Update) defined under 2. Forms Type Table must be either AFC_OUT1 or AFC_OUT2. It is the customers responsibility to correct existing definitions.

10.Function 5=Move Spooled File in Auto Forms Control is NOT supported in the light version.

11.The CL Command APF3812 does not work in the light version.

12.A light code must be entered with Type L. Following example enters code

163451a6 as a light code:

APF3812/APFSECUR CODE(163451A6) TYPE(L)
