Info

� NOTE � 222 User’s Manual for InterForm400 ® 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.
3. PDF File Name Composition Select this option to state how the PDF file name is determined: Create PDF Filename Composition PNM330D Definition name . . . . : DEMO_MAN Demo for manual Type choices and then press Enter. Press F3 or F12 to exit. PDF output path/file . . . /Invoices/*KEY1/Inv *VB.pdf_____________________> Composition, *USEREXIT Create directory . . . . . N (Y=Yes, N=No) Replace file method . . . G Y=Always, N=Never, G=*Gen when dupl. Available variables Var. Type Description Len Info *KEY1 Keydef. Customer Numbers 4 Numeric, Allow blanks=N *VA SpoolVar Customer name 40 Inputlen.: 40, Position (-) *VB SpoolVar Invoice number 10 Inputlen.: 10, Position (-) *VC AutoNum Global counter 6 *SYS, Len=6, Str=0, Incr=0, *FIXED F3=Exit F4=Prompt F5=Refresh F9=Expand F12=Cancel F14=Test Bottom In the top of the screen you state either the composition of the PDF file names to be created or *USEREXIT to let a user exit program determine the names of the PDF files. As a part of the path you can use the keys and variables, that you have already defined. They are all listed in the bottom of the screen. If you specify *USEREXIT for the PDF file name(s) you should call a program simular to the source in file APF3812/APISRC and member PNMEXIT. The program will be called with &EntryStep = *NAME. You can press F4 to get the list of the defined variables to select from (when typing the path/file name), F9 to get access to the full length available for the PDF file name composition or F14 to test the composition with a specific spooled file and see what PDF file names it will create. Other options are: Create directory: Specify if you want InterForm400 to create the necessary directories or not. Replace file method: Use 'Y' if you want to replace existing PDF files if found. 'N' will result in an error message if the file exists and 'G= *Gen' will append a number to the filename if it already exists. Note, that this number will be appended after e.g. '.pdf' as the very last of the file name. InterForm A/S 223
