I have a PDF Mapping program that I created for use with Infoprint Server
(5722IP1).
The ultimate goal for this program is to send an AFPDS spool file as an email
attachment.
After setting up the Printer Device and PSF Config Object, I set out to write
my program.
According to the documentation, PSF initialy sends a small area for the Output
Buffer that will contain the configuration information. If that area is less
than the size needed by my program, I return the desired size to PSF and exit.
PSF is then *supposed* to call my program again with an output buffer of the
size I specified.
What is happening is that the first pass goes as expected, but the second time
around, it does not pass the desired output buffer size, but rather the same
size that was passed on the first call.
Has anyone any ideas as to what is happening?
When I called IBM Support, they said I needed to talk to the Consult Line
people as this was a problem in my program.

Below is the pertinant sections of my code:
D*--------------------------------------------------

LIKE(Output_Data)
D PSF_Output_Length...

D PSF_Output_Length_Used...

If PSF_Output_Length < %Len(Output_Data);
PSF_Output_Length_Used = %Len(Output_Data);
Return;
ENDIF;
