Jana;
       Don't forget that you must create the overlay on the AS/400 as the 
next step after its been transfered to an AS/400 folder.
Example:

   CRTPF      FILE(QTEMP/WRKOVL) RCDLEN(32766) MBR(&OVL) +
                MAXMBRS(*NOMAX) SIZE(*NOMAX) LVLCHK(*NO)

   CPYFRMPCD  FROMFLR(FRFLR) TOFILE(QTEMP/WRKOVL) +
                FROMDOC(FRPCD) TOMBR(OVL) +
                TRNTBL(*NONE) TRNFMT(*TEXT)

   CRTOVL     OVL(OVLLIB/OVL) FILE(QTEMP/WRKOVL) +
                MBR(OVL) REPLACE(*YES)

Then do a CHGPRTF on the the printer file and include the overlay name and 
location.
