Re: Creating and Overlay object

["Denis Robitaille" <DRobitaille@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are the steps:
1: configure an AFP printer on your PC (the drivers comes with client access)
2: configure this printer so that the output goes to a file
3: generate and print your logo with your favorite PC program
4: using windows explorer, tansfer the file on the AS/400 (in the ifs)
5: create a temporary file on the AS/400
    CRTPF      FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) RCDLEN(8201) MAXMBRS(*NOMAX) LVLCHK(*NO)      
 
6: add a member to the just created file
    ADDPFM     FILE(MYLIB/MYFLE) MBR(&OVL)   
7: Convert the PC data to a PF
    CPYFRMPCD  FROMFLR(MYFOLDER) TOFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE) +   
              FROMDOC(&PCDOC) TOMBR(&OVL) +              
              MBROPT(*REPLACE) TRNTBL(*NONE)             
8: Create the overlay
    CRTOVL     OVL(&LIB/&OVL) FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE)

Those steps are in used at my location. There may be better ways but this one 
works.

Help.

I am trying to create and Overlay file (object type OVL) for printing a logo
to an HP5SI printer.  I have set up CA and I believe an AFP printer.  I have
printed my logo to the AFP printer and held the spool file.  From the
operations navigator I have created an overlay file.  Now (if what I have
done so far is right??) how to I get this to the AS/400 and create my
overlay?  CPYFRMPCD will not copy up the file it says it can not find it.
But I have FTP'ed  it up and when I use it to create the overlay file I get
a level check message.  I can not find a procedure that tells me the steps
to create this overlay file with out the use of the APF Utility.  Can it be
done?  Can some one tell me where I am going wrong?  Thanks in advance for
your help.
