RE: How do I create overlays on v7.4

Way back I used the AFP printer driver to "print" to an overlay drawn in Word or Paint and then upload that to the 400
Then compile it with CRTOVL

Google is your friend: "AFP Driver"

Or, you can use mental image and create lines and boxes in a AFPDS type PRTF

Its been a long time since I created an overlay and IBM changed something on how to create the overlays.



Does anyone know what the procedure is or is there a way using the DDS in a printer file that will let me create boxes and lines?



TIA
