Intermate i5, AS/400, iSeries manual Edit Subject Text, Merge spool entry with overlay

Step 6. Edit Subject Text

Now we will change the appearance of the subject header text (Re. Your new...). We therefore type 8 and press Field Exit in order to add our first new sequence line. As we want the text to remain in the same vertical position, we can use a Tabulator command to adjust the text and change the font. We chose type 8 to select a tabulator:

F3=Exit	F4=Prompt	F18=DSPSPLF		F12=Cancel

In order to determine which lines should be formatted by the tabulator we press F18 to display our spool entry. This is actually just a shortcut to the command DSPSPLF, but the entries to the command is automatically fetched from the values we saw in the screen 3.

Merge spool entry with overlay.

L TROUBLE SHOOTING L

If pressing F14, F16 or F18 has no effect it means no spool attributes is available in the

window we filled in on page 80. The reason could be, that you have performed that step

in another terminal session. Either define these attributes with F13 in the screen with the

overlay global settings or exit this screen and print once using 3. Merge spool entry

with overlay and re-enter the above screen, or alternatively display the spool file in another session by entering the queue and selecting option 5=display.
