The first time this screen is entered only the Sample queue AFC_INPUT1 will exist (see the
Getting Started section page 24). Press F6 to create a new AFC definition. When created
press F5 to update the screen above.
With F15=Subset you can include only output queues in a specific library or only output
queues where the description contains a certain text.
Under status you can see if the relevant server job is running (*ACTIVE) or not.
Some of the options are:
8=Start AFC-job Starts the server job if not already started. In this manner you can
start individual jobs without having to restart the whole AUTO_FORM
subsystem. You can also use the command APF3812/STRAFCJOB
to do the same.
9=End AFC-job Ends the server job monitoring the selected output queue. You can
also use the command APF3812/ENDAFCJOB to do the same.
12=Work with output queue
Use this option to do a WRKOUTQ on this queue. Note however that
the command behind this option is APF3812/APFWRKOUTQ offering
you more functionality than the OS400 WRKOUTQ. Refer to page
454 for more information of this command.
13=Enter step by step mode
If you want to test the functionality of the AFC definitions for an output
queue you can use this option. After running this option you will get a
break message in the current job and the AFC job will stop and wait
for an answer for each sequence line when a spooled file arrives. The
message will look like this:
