I specified it to AFPDS and that worked.

Yes, that would be kind of important if you want the overlay to show up.

In my own most recent overlay project, I just used (as in past projects) an SCS print file ("NOPRINT220") created with these attributes:

Printer device type . . . . . . . . . . . . : DEVTYPE *SCS
Page size PAGESIZE
Length . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 102
Width . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 220
Measurement Method . . . . . . . . . . . : *ROWCOL
Lines per inch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : LPI 12
Characters per inch . . . . . . . . . . . . : CPI 20

(the customer needed to squeeze exceptionally long lines onto 8 1/2 x 11 paper, with the overlay putting a 2" wide sidebar on the right of every page)

and then put this OVRPRTF in the CL program:

OVRPRTF FILE(NOPRINT220) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) +
PRTTXT(*BLANK) UOM(*INCH) +
FRONTOVL(FOO/BAR 0.25 9) +
TOSTMF(&PDFPATH) WSCST(*PDF) +
OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL)

The magic, of course, is overriding the DEVTYPE to *AFPDS, and the WSCST to *PDF.
