<h5 id="rzau6usefdf">Specify a form definition</h5>
<p>To use or identify a fully qualified form definition, specify a value in
the FORMDF parameter with one of these CL commands: </p>
<ul>
<li>Create Printer File (CRTPRTF)</li>
<li>Change Printer File (CHGPRTF)</li>
<li>Override with Printer File (OVRPRTF)</li></ul>
<p>You can specify a form definition with these device types: </p>
<ul>
<li>*AFPDS</li>
<li>*AFPDSLINE</li>
<li>*IPDS&trade;</li>
<li>*LINE</li>
<li>*SCS</li>
<li>*USERASCII (If the data is ASCII XML, a page definition and form
definition are required.)</li></ul>
<p>When you specify output to an Advanced Function Presentation&trade; (AFP&trade;) printer but do not specify a form definition, an inline form definition
is built from the printer file parameters. The inline form definition is then
passed to Print Services Facility&trade; (PSF).</p>
<p>Depending on the specifications given, some printer file parameters might
be ignored when output is printed through PSF.</p>
<p>To indicate an output bin for a form definition, specify the OUTBIN parameter
on the printer file.</p>
<p>Use Change Spooled File Attributes (CHGSPLFA) to change the spooled file
attributes for the form definition.</p>
