To use or identify a fully qualified form definition, specify a value in the FORMDF parameter with one of these CL commands:
You can specify a form definition with these device types:
When you specify output to an Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) 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™ (PSF).
Depending on the specifications given, some printer file parameters might be ignored when output is printed through PSF.
To indicate an output bin for a form definition, specify the OUTBIN parameter on the printer file.
Use Change Spooled File Attributes (CHGSPLFA) to change the spooled file attributes for the form definition.
