Hi Conan,

One of my customers is using Acom forms software (acom.com).  Its method is to merge a spool file with a form (designed with their tools). During the merge, data in the spool file can determine which form is used. Within a form, spool file data can also conditionally print various logos or text.  A lot easier than the AFP overlays.

We are on an iSeries at OS 7.2 and process direct to customer orders for a number of different retail customers. Most of them require that we include Branded Packing Slips in the shipments that include their logo and very specific formatting. We have been using AFP overlays to accomplish this and haven't been thrilled with the process involved. Now with the elimination of support for AFP printing, we are looking to see if there are any IBM or 3rd party packages that can do this, hopefully in a more efficient manner.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Conan
