If you are used to creating PRTF externally described files. It should be straightforward.
Sometimes the hardest part is getting the print layout to look the same. But once you are done it is a lot easier to make changes, etc.

Thanks, It transpires that the program to modify does not use an externally
described PRTF. Are there any things to be concerned about when making such a
conversion?

But your printer needs to support *AFPDS's data stream.

Adam,
Yes you have to compile the print file as an *AFPDS.
No, this will not change how the other print fields print.

Subject: Barcode question
In an existing PRTF, if I want to add a bar code field, do I change the
entire PRTF to *AFPDS, does this have any effect on the other non BARCODE
Fields?
