Paul, You can't do it using fax/400. I've SCREEEMMED at them to make this function available for general use for about 4 years now.... They ARE doing this kind of function already..basically you need to be able to send more than 1 splf in a fax transmit session to get past this problem due to how spooling handles overlays...but you the user will never see this functionality. I suggest you cash in your fax/400 and look at something better...like Quadrant! IBM is just not committed to adding much needed functionality to this product and it's going to drop by the wayside. You CAN however do this using the Quadrant package....Now, how Quadrant can do this using THE SAME IBM TECHNLOGY that faxless/400 is using and IBM in Roch CAN'T is something that's just totally amazed me for years! Give Andy a yodel at Quadrant...tell him I sent ya...he's a heckuva nice guy.... Every soundoff I've ever been to Fax/400 has been one of the first things, after Al Barsa's schpeals, that people bitch about...NOLA was no exception...
