PO Printing Overrides / Changes - PowerLink and Host Print

Hello.



I want to allow authorized users to print and email purchase orders they
create to themselves. The 'wrinkle' I am struggling with is I want the
user to be able to print the purchase order with or without a signature.
The user is authorized to print and sign the purchase order. However,
we want the user to be able to print 'draft' / 'interim' versions of the
purchase order without a signature...similar to our physical signature
process.



I was planning to send the purchase orders to an outq called 'draft' if
a signature is not required....and an outq called 'signed' when the
signature is required. If working with the spool files...this is
straightforward...but our users generally print using host print in
Power-Link...and most never sign on to the iseries to change an outq.



I'm not aware of any method for user's to change outq within
Power-Link...



Changing the form type would work well too..



I am looking for ideas or guidance...perhaps I can call the XA purchase
order print program from another option or integrator object...and
override the form type on the PO?



Thank you for any help or insight.
