RE: Printing and Overlays

If you have a PSFCFG for the printer you can also do this.
CHGPSFCFG PSFFCFG(yourLIB/yourPSFCFG) RSCRET(*NO)        

But having forgotten to do so many times while testing AFP resource changes, my fingers now 

ENDWTR xxxx *IMMED
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(xxxx) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*OFF)  
WRKPSFCFG xxxx   and make any changes to it or the AFP resources 
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(xxxx) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)                       
STRPRTWTR xxxxx

I agree with Charles.

I wanted to add that if you're using Host Print Transform, the AFP 
resources (such as overlays, page segments, etc) are added by the writer 
before the data is sent to the printer.  So they're not in the spooled 
file with HPT, but they're not sent separately like they would be with a 
true AFP printer, they're merged into the spooled file during the 
transform process.
