Re: AFP - *OVL issue

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there an OVRPRTF when the pgm runs, and what does it say?
DSPFD of the printer file should show the overlay you specified.
Once spool generated, Opt 8 of wrksplf should show that it has
Printer Dev Type = *AFPDS and Overlay = your overlay.
