<h4 id="rzau6prtis">Print AFP data generated on the iSeries&trade; server</h4>
<p>Follow these steps to generate and print i5/OS Advanced Function Presentation&trade; data stream (AFPDS) data with Print Services Facility&trade; (PSF): </p>
<ol type="1">
<li><a href="rzau6crtafp.htm#rzau6crtafp">Create the AFPDS data.</a></li>
<li>Optional: <a href="rzau6spcovl.htm#rzau6spcovl">Specify overlays</a>.</li>
<li>Generate an AFPDS spooled file.
<p><span class="bold">Method 1: Use an application
program.</span> The application program that creates the data to be used with
the overlays might need to be tailored so the printed output fits with the
overlays you designed.</p>
<p>Tailoring the program to fit the overlay is similar
to tailoring the program to work with a preprinted form.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Method 2: Use the Print AFP&trade; Data (PRTAFPDTA) command.</span> If you have a database
file that contains AFP data, use the PRTAFPDTA command to spool the file.</p>
<p>If you want to use a prompt display with this command, type PRTAFPDTA
and press F4 (Prompt).</p>
<p></p>

<div class="notelisttitle" id="wq20">Notes:</div>
<ol type="a">
<li>The PRTAFPDTA command prints AFPDS data. Any padding between the AFPDS
structured fields must be <span class="hex">X'40'</span> or <span class="hex">X'00'</span>.</li>
<li>When using the PRTAFPDTA command, do not override the DEVTYPE parameter
on the system printer file, QSYSPRT.</li>
<li>When using the PRTAFPDTA command, the form definition typically identifies
the drawer to print from. An exception is when an Override with Printer File
(OVRPRTF) command has been issued with a different drawer value. In this case,
the drawer value is taken from the override command.</li>
</ol>
<p><span class="bold">Examples</span></p>
<p>This command prints
the first member in file MYFILE starting with page 2 and ending on page 6. </p>
<pre class="xmp">PRTAFPDTA FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) STRPAGE(2) ENDPAGE(6)</pre>
<p>This command
prints the member $REPORT in file MYFILE using a form definition of F10101
and all available exception handling. </p>
<pre class="xmp">PRTAFPDTA FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) MBR($REPORT) FORMDF(F10101) FIDELITY(*CONTENT)</pre></li>
<li>Release the spooled file to a device with device type *AFPDS.</li></ol>
