Overlay not showing sometimes

We put an electronic signature on some Bills of Lading. The entire printer
file has an overlay, plus we put the signature in a little box at the
bottom.



This has been working well for several years. We needed to create some new
signatures, so I followed the steps I always do. Create the jpg, print to
the AFP 300 printer driver (specify medium overlay), put the file in QDLS,
then do the Create OVL



Like this:



CPYFRMPCD FROMFLR(&FLR) TOFILE(QTEMP/WORKF) +

FROMDOC(&FILE) +

TRNTBL(*NONE) TRNFMT(*NOTEXT)



CRTOVL OVL(&LIB/&OVL) FILE(QTEMP/WORKF) MBR(WORKF)





The overlay prints on a test form. BUT I can't get it to print in our
application.



Here is the DDS



A R SIGN OVERLAY(&LIB/&OVLS &POSD &POSA)

A LIB 10A P

A OVLS 8A P

A POSD 5S 3P

A POSA 5S 3P



I've confirmed via debug all of these field values are correct. I don't
mess with overlays much. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
