Subject: Form based report (Overlay)

With regards to Form based reporting within RPG programs
https://dl.ricohsoftware.com/downloads/aa9a248e-101c-4aa6-b109-1cf7403f3b4f
Having to change an overlay for a report recently we discovered it is pretty obscure of how to get the driver to recreate/update the form.
Is there a generally accepted updated way to create forms in RPG?

Thanks


Shane Reeves
