Fred Pritchard wrote to midrange-l: Hi all, We are in the process of creating a two page fax using overlays. The first page is a letter and the second page is a form. We have tried using Front and Back overlays on the print file but without specifying duplex the back does not print. We were hoping it would print as the second page. I was wondering if anyone has a quick and simple method to do this? Any suggestions? Fred Dear Fred, About a year ago, I was trying to figure out a way to print an overlay on one page of a multi-page OfficeVision document. IBM told me that if I changed the record format of a particular page in the document and then applied the overlay to that page using the DDS Overlay keyword, the overlay would only be printed on pages with the same record format. Their idea worked fine for me with my application. If you can use DDS keywords with the printer file servicing your Fax/400 application, you might be able to use different record formats for the letter and the form and use this overlay capability to print the two different overlays on the two pages. To me, this AS/400 feature works the same as starting a new section in PC word processing software like Microsoft Word. The changes you make (in this case applying an overlay) are maintained for only a portion of the document and are not carried through to the complete document.
