Chuck,
I had to do something similar at Fleetwood, and also allow the buyers to select
whether to print, fax, email or do any combo with the PO at their discretion,
and allow an override of the fax# and email address. What I did was add a user
field to the PO header panel (they printed from entry/maintenance), and used a
custom version of the PO print program (AM64M, if I recall correctly). As a
general rule, I didn't like modifying XA code, but I didn't mind print programs
much as they generally (I stress generally) don't do much if any updates - and I
restricted the enhancements as much as possible. That was working at R6, but it
tested out correctly on the R7.8 upgrade. Unfortunately, the company is now
defunct, or I would get you the literal code - but it wasn't a difficult change.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] PO Printing Overrides / Changes - PowerLink and Host Print
Hello.
I want to allow authorized users to print and email purchase orders they
create to themselves. The 'wrinkle' I am struggling with is I want the
user to be able to print the purchase order with or without a signature.
The user is authorized to print and sign the purchase order. However,
we want the user to be able to print 'draft' / 'interim' versions of the
purchase order without a signature...similar to our physical signature
process.
I was planning to send the purchase orders to an outq called 'draft' if
a signature is not required....and an outq called 'signed' when the
signature is required. If working with the spool files...this is
straightforward...but our users generally print using host print in
Power-Link...and most never sign on to the iseries to change an outq.
I'm not aware of any method for user's to change outq within
Power-Link...
Changing the form type would work well too..
I am looking for ideas or guidance...perhaps I can call the XA purchase
order print program from another option or integrator object...and
override the form type on the PO?
Thank you for any help or insight.
