InterForm Manual - System & Method

� TIP �
168 User’s Manual for InterForm400 ®
all jobs regardless of formtype to be processed by subsystem AUTO_FORM.:
STRRMTWTR OUTQ(APF3812/AFC_OUT1) FORMTYPE(*STD)
When using the same output queue for both Input and output it is highly recommended to
include the form type when starting the writer jobs in program QSTRUPPGM, in order to be
sure that the writers are started up with the correct Form Type after IPL. However this is
automatically fixed, when using STRWTRCHK as described above.
� WARNING �
Note that some PC emulated writers, such as the iSeries Access printer session,
automatically starts the writer with FORMTYPE=*ALL when initialising. These writers cannot
be used with APF3812/STRWTRCHK - use 2 output queue for those.
Step 2. Creating the AFC Definition:
Enter menu 5. Work with Auto Forms Control and select option 1. Function attached to
Output queues. Here we press F6 to create a new definition:
Output queue . . . . . . : AFC_INPUT2
Library . . . . . . . : APF3812
Update Auto Forms Control Definition AFC302D
Type choices and then press Enter. Press F3 or F12 to exit.

Here we define the queue to monitor should be AFC_INPUT2. We assign the same name for
the AUTO_FORM subsystem job, as it will be easier to recognise the correct job when looking
at active jobs.
As we will use the same queue for Input and Output for our AFC definitions, we assign the
same queue name for the default output queue.
For printer type we state a value matching our specific printer.
There should be no criteria for changing the writer, so we press Enter twice to get the AFC
function entry screen.
