Re: IFS Files (type PDF) available on web

FYI

In case anyone is curious.
Using the CRTPDFMAP to create a Map Object you can define where pdf files 
go and the name of the pdf.
Found the information in the Redbook titled "Using Mapping Objects"

[WEB400] IFS Files (type PDF) available on web






Hello all,

I have some WebFaced apps up and running. Right in the same library I have 

an app that generates a report. I created a PSF cfg and a device so that I 

could take that report and convert it to a PDF and put in a folder on the 
IFS. What I would like to do now is somehow add a link to the WebFaced 
page allowing users to download the PDF. The login that they use should be 

what determines which file they get. They do not exist as users on the 
400, they are in a VLDL. Can I do this? Got any resources to help me get 
started?

With what I am trying right now when the files are converted I use their 
login as the spooled file name. But when they are converted they get a ton 

of other ID's tagged on to the file name, and even the sub folder is using 

job and user as names. Can I force them to have a very uniqe name and be 
placed in a very specific folder? If so I think this would solve my 
problem. I have just touched the tip of using IPS to convert to PDF......
