Re: Issue with overlay

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

The ENDPAGE DDS keyword goes to the next page after the format containing
ENDPAGE is printed. I do this for two sided forms:

DDS...
 *
A          R PG1OVL                    OVERLAY(G0907071 0.2 0.2)
 *
A          R DETAIL1
A                                      ENDPAGE
A   buncha fields...
 *
A          R PG2OVL                    OVERLAY(G0907072 0.2 0.2)
 *
A          R DETAIL2
A                                      ENDPAGE
A   buncha fields...


RPG code...
// Write first page overlay.
Write Pg1Ovl;
// Write first detail.
Write Detail1;
// Write second page overlay.
Write Pg2Ovl;
// Write second detail.
Write Detail2;

So, write your first overlay, write the stuff on it, write the second
overlay, write the stuff on it. The ENDPAGE advances the page.
