Re: AFPDS printer with a pagseg

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

My trusty IBM AS-400 Printing V Redbook says "AFP resources are
elements that PSF can use at print time. The resources are
referenced in the spool, not included in the spooled file themselves."

My trusty IBM AS-400 Printing V Redbook says "If the AFPDS spooled
file uses any resources, such as overlays, page segments or host
resident fonts, these resources must exist on the target system if
they are to be included in the printed output. The AS/400 does not
insert resources in the spooled file before sending the file to the
target system."

This is with respect to remote writers going from AS/400-->AS/400...

But I suspect the same thing applies to SNDNETSPLF
