AFP & Overlays

To all,

I am using Host print transform to print an AFPDS spool file with an
overlay to a Lexmark Optra. This works OK if I only specify a front
overlay via the FRONTOVL parm on the printer file.

This overlay was created via the CA AFP print driver and uploaded to the
AS/400.

When I specify an overlay to print on the back of the form using the
BACKOVL and DUPLEX option on the print file this is ignored when there
is only one page of data and for more than one page the data from page
two is merged with the back overlay.

The form is an invoice with static data on the back (terms &
conditions).

I do not have PSF/400.

Am I trying to achieve the impossible here ??.   I know I could achieve
this by  DDS, however I do not want to change the application.  In the
long term I intend buying an Electronic forms package.

Any idea's

Regards

Garry Farndell
