increases each time the key(s) change.
*KEY Like *TASKKEY except this works across tasks / finishing
definitions.
All the autonumerators change for each new PDF file. Except *TASKKEY and *KEY.
Normally you would create a new PDF file for each new key, but not necessarily.
Date: Inserts the current date. It can be the: 1=System date, 2=Job
date (the date of the AFC job) or the 3=Spoolfile creation
date. Many different formats (without delimiters) are
supported.
Time: Inserts the current time. It can be either: 1=System or
2=Spool creation time.
System environment info: At the moment only '1=System name' can be selected.
User exit: Select this possibility and you will see this:
User exit program . . . . __________ Name, *NONE
User exit program . . . . __________ Library, *LIBL
Exit fields variables
Parm 1 - 5 . . . . . . . _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ *KEY1-3, *VA-9
Parm 6 - 10 . . . . . . _____ _____ _____ _____ _____
� TIP �
So with this option you can call your own program to insert a
value in a variable e.g. found by using other variables. You
can only use variables with names, that are lower e.g. *V2
can be calculated with the values from *VA-*VZ and *V1.
For a demo source of a user exit program look in source file APF3812/APISRC in member
PNMEXIT. The program will be called with &Entrystep = *VAR. You return the value for the
variable in &Rtnparm1.
� NOTE �
The same exit program can be called several times from different places in the PDF File
naming finishing definition. The field &Entrystep indicates from where it is called.
