Intermate iSeries, i5, AS/400 manual Making a Work Copy of the Overlay IF400DEMO, Sample

Step 1. Making a Work Copy of the Overlay IF400DEMO

In order to keep the original sample we should first make a copy of the overlays to work with. To prevent the changes we make to be overwritten by future updates of the SAMPLE file-set, we will do the changes in our TEST file-set which was created on page 28 in the Getting Started section.

Enter 8 in the option field on the main menu::

Select File-set

Select one of the following file-sets, then press Enter. 1=Select

Opt	File-ID	Description
_	SAMPLE	InterForm 400	Samples
1	TEST	Test file-set
F3=Exit			F12=Cancel

Now enter 1 In the option field to select TEST and press Enter

Now enter 1. Design Overlay on the main menu and press Enter:

Design InterForm 400		overlay	APF300D
Overlay name	MYDEMO_____
F3=Exit	F4=List overlays		F12=Cancel

Here we type the name of the new overlay we want to create. We can name this overlay MYDEMO. We type MYDEMO and press Enter:
