Re: Overlays on a Report

Perhaps I am missing something.

Reports come from either RPG Output specifications, or there is a DDS that 
has laid out the report ... I am more comfortable with the RPG approach from 
perspective of speed of making changes because of my S/36 background, but if 
what I am to modify is in the DDS format then I can handle that also for 
modifications.

In either case, the RPG needs a PRTF file that came from DDS.
That PRTF is either a "program" in its own right, similar in complexity to a 
DSPF, or it is an empty husk created to be the RPG conduit to the printer.

In the CL that calls the RPG, there is often an OVRPRTF immediately before 
the RPG that overrides stuff like
What will this thing be called on the SPLF
Printer related rules like forms, copies, alignment

When you say "overlays" are you speaking of this or something else?
