RE: printing boilerplate info on a form

I just got this from a BP on how I might make a overlay for our
InfoPrint solution:

Here are the steps to use overlays in a RPG application.


Use Microsoft word to create document to be used for overlay
Print document to AFP printer
FTP file to overlay file
Create overlay with CRTOVL command
Modify the application print file to use overlay

Are you suggesting creating in MS Word (or similar) to build the page
segment?

I was hoping I can reside the boilerplate data on the Iseries in a file
and read the record, move it to the printer file field, and print.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks

I would suggest creating a page segment of the desired text with the
appropriate font and formatting (word wrap) and then use the PAGSEG DDS
keyword to position it on the form.
