About This Manual

This manual is intended for the person or people responsible for production printing on the

site. For instance the system administrator.

InterForm400 is designed to operate completely transparent to the user, which means this®

manual is only used for designing overlays, setting up printers and for configuration of sub-

system handling the overlays and printers.

InterForm400 requires no programming of any kind in order to operate with existing print jobs.®

All logical definitions for searching and selecting print jobs are set up in the InterForm400®

menus.

The manual describes functions, that may require the purchase of additional modules.

W henever additional module(s) are required it should be mentioned, but that cannot be

guaranteed. For guidelines refer to page 21. Ask your local InterForm400 reseller if in doubt.

The terms ‘AS/400', ‘iSeries’, ‘i5' and ‘System i’ may be used in the manual. Unless mentioned

they refer to all 4 types of machines.


How the manual is organized

This manual is built as a technical reference as well as a self study on creating overlays fast

and easy. The self study sections are constructed as follows:

Getting Started: W ork through this chapter if you are installing the system for the

first time. You will end up with an illustrative sample printed

through the AutoFormsControl sub-system.

Getting Familiar

with Overlays: This section will use the demo overlay as template and lead you

through virtually all the design features in InterForm400 . To®

gain full benefit of this section you should have worked through

the section Getting Started.

Getting Familiar with

Overlay Selectors The overlay selector is a vital element of InterForm400 . It®

enables specific pages in a spool entry to have unique overlays

attached according to the contents of the spool data. To gain full

benefit of this section you should have worked through the

section Getting Familiar with Overlays.

Getting Familiar with

Auto Forms Control This chapter will lead you through a real life example of using

Auto Forms Control. You will be guided step-by-step through the

entire procedure. To gain full benefit of this section you should

have worked through the section Getting Started.

Getting Familiar with Soft-

fonts and Barcodes: This section is structured as a learning-by-doing example which

makes extensive use of download fonts and bar codes.

Throughout the manual you will find the following symbols, which will provide you with special

information:

What is new in the 2009 versions

This Users Guide describes functions available in version 2009M01 and newer.

Below are listed most of the new features added in InterForm400 since the last Users Guide

(version 3-31) intended for InterForm400 version 2008M01.

Requirement

• OS/400 (or i5/OS) version V5R3M0 or higher is required.

Installation/upgrade

• /QDLS and the folder system is no longer used. ‘/APF3812Home/Work’

replace the use of the APF3812 folder in QDLS and ‘/APF3812Home/View’

replace the ‘/qdls/apf3812/view’ folder. If you previously mapped a network

drive onto /qdls or the apf3812 folder you might consider to map onto e.g.

/APF3812Home now instead after upgrading to a 2009 version.

• Auto configure of InterForm400. During an initial install InterForm400 will

automatically retrieve information of your system and suggest the values for

configuration which are the most likely to use. InterForm400 will also create a

file set with the same name as the current user profile and connect the user to

this file set.

• System i’s with iASP (Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool) are now also

supported by InterForm400. Refer to page 23 for details.

• Install Swiftview on alternative drive on the attached PCs. You can now

setup InterForm400 so Swiftview does not need to be installed on the C-drive.

You can specify any drive letter - common for all users. Refer to page 32 for

more information.

• You can now specify another name and library for the subsystems used by

InterForm400. Refer to page 33 of a description of how to change them. Here

you can also see how to automatically start the other InterForm400

subsystems, when the Auto_Form subsystem starts.

• The codepage of Auto Forms Control output queues are now used when

archiving with InterArchive400 - even if a codepage different than the system

code page is used. This is unlike earlier versions of InterForm400. Only if this

change is relevant to you an information screen will be shown during upgrade of

InterForm400:


INS1501 New feature warning The code page options specified for AFC is now used for function I (IDXSPLF) PDF files generated using function I (Index Spooled file) will now use the code page options specified for the AFC definitions. You should manually verify that the code page settings for all AFC output queues - with function "I" (Index Spooled file) - are correct. After one or more spooled file has been archived using this version of InterForm, please check that they was archived in the desired code page by having a look at the generated pdf file(s). Please keep a copy of this screen for future reference. F10=Confirm

• The graphical designer got new graphics and new features. Now you can lock

down remap windows and tabulators to prevent unintentionally changes to

these functions. Refer to page 483 for details.

• The number of objects in the library APF3812NEW is now checked to

ensure a full restore during update/install.

• The Joint Reports function in InterForm400 is considered obsolete and has

been removed. W e recommend to use e.g. Output Schedule Control to merge

several spooled files into one.

Input formats

• JPEG support. It is now possible to install JPEG images in InterForm400 to be

used for both PCL and PDF output. The PDF result is MUCH smaller

compared to using BMP images. PCL result is about the same size as if you

use a BMP. The color images are installed as described on page 331. The

&&IMG command now support JPEG images for PCL and PDF output. See

details of the &&IMG command on page 399.

• AFPDS spooled files can now be used as input in InterForm400. Any

referenced AFP resources are ignored. InterForm400 will consider only the text

elements visible via a normal DSPSPLF command.

PDF • The PRTPDF command (to print pdf files on the System i) have been improved,

so that it now also prints more types of PDF files. This command is described in

details on page 433. (This command was previously undocumented.)

• Now you can include an image in the PDF result that fills out the result to the

edge of the paper. It is moved to the right into the printable area in the PCL

result, if it too far to the left. A margin of 57/240 inch is reserved in PCL. If you

previously placed an image with a distance of less than this from the left edge

of the paper, you will notice that the image in the PDF result is moved to the left

compared to the PCL result, which will remain unchanged after upgrading to a

2009 version.

InterForm A/S 19

• Inside properies of the generated pdf files you can now find the real physical

size of the media e.g. 297x210 mm for the size A4. Previously the margins was

deducted.

Tools

• An option to rotate an overlay in the green screen designer has been added

via F5=Service. Refer to page 62 for details.

• A new interface tool is now provided to help you offer advanced functions to

the end user menues simply by pressing the Attention/Escape key in any

screen in any application.

W ould you e.g. like InterForm400 to grab information on a 5250 screen and

view a pdf file based on the information found? That and much more is possible

with the STRSCNATN and WRKSCNATN commands. See how on page 502 in

Appendix R.

• The feed control values *WEBLABEL and *MARKLABEL are now also

possible for the MEDIATRACK field when merging into ZPLII by use of the

MRGSPLFZPL command - as when you merge e.g. via Auto Forms Control.

See details of the MRGSPLFZPL command on page 418.

• The MLTARCVIEW Command (used for Interfacing with MultiArchive) now

includes a codepage and it also supports InterW ord400 spooled files.

E-mail

• The e-mail finishing definition now does not need to find fixed 10 characters

in the spooled file to identify the text version when finding the e-mail

addresses in the spooled file. Text found in the spooled file now can be used as

a part of the text version if need - but it does not need to be. Refer to page 215

for detailed information.

• The command, WRKMAILLOG (W ork with mail log) has now been added to

the administration menu in InterForm400 as option ‘60. Work with email log’.

Refer to a description of the function on page 424.

Auto Forms Control

• Subset output queues listed in auto forms control. Not only can you use

‘position to’ to start the list with output queues with a specific name, you can

now also decide that you only want to see output queues in a specific library

and/or output queues, where the description contains a specific text. See

details on page 145.

• Sorting and splitting of unicode spooled files are now also supported. A new

unicode format for split exit programs have been added (format=4). Refer to

page 188 for information.

• The option in Auto Forms Control to copy a spooled file can now create the

new spooled file owned by a different user profile than the original. Normally

the processed spooled files are owned by the same user as the original spooled

file. This can be useful if you want to prevent end users from deleting the


spooled files e.g. before they are archived. Refer to page 156 for details.

• The drawer of the original spooled file is now copied onto the sorted spooled

file when using a sorting definition in Auto Forms Control.

What is new in this manual

This lists the major changes to the manual, that does not concern the new functions. The

changes/additions are:

• Not all functions are supported for InterW ord400 spooled files. Limitations are

listed on page 440.

• Requirements for changing the job description for Auto Forms Control jobs are

listed. Refer to page 148 for details.

• Returned information are not inserted into spooled file attributes when blanks

are returned from Split exit programs. Details can be found on page 189.

• Even if you change a spooled file in Auto Forms Control, InterForm400 will

still go through all the definitions on the output queue - using the original

attributes of the spooled file. This and other tips for Auto Forms Control are

described on page 166.

• A tip for what is required in order to be able to change the owner of a

program into QSECOFR is listed on page 158.

InterForm A/S 21

The modules of InterForm400

Below basic InterForm400 package and the modules are described.

As minimum you need to buy either the InterForm400 Light version or the basic InterForm400

package.

If wanted you need to install the additional modules InterW ord400 and InterFax400.

InterFax400 is installed via option 80 on the InterForm400 Service menu and requires the

InterForm400 CD. The other modules are installed along with InterForm400 and only need to

be enabled with a new license code.

Refer to Appendix G on page 396 for details of the light version.

The Basic InterForm400 package

The basic InterForm400 does not contain any of the functions, that are available as a module.

That means, that the following is NOT included in the basic package:

• ZPL output

• PDF output and E-mailing with attached PDF files

• Possibility to encrypt and digitally sign PDF files created by InterForm400

• InterW ord400 (OV400 replacement and System i mail merge)

• Possibility to fax (Interfax).

• Swiftview licenses apart from 1 license, that is delivered with InterForm400 for

free

• And any other module, that may be offered for InterForm400.

However the number of output queues supported for PCL output in the basic package is

unlimited.

The InterForm400 Classic package

The InterForm400 Classic package fits the functionality of the previous versions of

InterForm400. The Classic package includes PCL output on an unlimited number of output

queues, ZPL output, PDF output and e-mailing.

If you already have purchased the full InterForm400 license prior to the 2004 versions (and

have maintenance) then you will get a 2007 license code for the classic package. If you

already have bought InterW ord400 or additional SwiftView licenses then the 2007 code (and

future license codes) will of course also include that.

The ZPL Module

Purchase this module and you will be able to print on ZPL compatible printers including the

wireless QLnnn+ printers.

In order to start working with Zebra output you need to create a Zebra File set.

Refer to page 283 for how to do that. This module is included in the classic package.


The PDF and E-mailing Module

If you want to create PDF files in InterForm400 and/or send E-mails with attached PDF files

you need this module. This module is included in the classic package.

The Digital Signature / PDF Security Module

If you want to encrypt PDF files created by InterForm400 and/or digitally sign them, then you

need this module. Note, that you also need to buy the PDF and E-mailing module if you do not

have the classic package. Refer to Appendix Q on page 496 for more information.

The InterWord400 Module

Can be used as a substitute for OfficeVision400. It converts OV/400 documents into RTF

format. Offers also the possibility to do mail merge directly on the System i. Ask your local

InterForm400 reseller for more details.

The InterFax400 Module

The InterFax400 module enables distribution of the InterForm400 documents via facsimile.

The InterFax400 modules ensures a correct translation of the InterForm400 documents. This

is done in combination with the E-mail/Fax finishing definition in InterForm400. Note that

InterFax400 is only supported for V5R1 or newer.

InterForm A/S 23

Getting Started

The idea of the following procedure is to give you a safe and easy start on the InterForm400®

system. No knowledge on InterForm400 is required, and only minor OS/400 knowledge is®

needed.

The final result of the following will print a sample spool entry with a predefined overlay by

means of the Auto Forms Control (AFC) system, which is an essential part of the

InterForm400 system. The result will be printed on a PCL printer of your own choice.®

iASP installation

If you install or upgrade InterForm400 on a system that is running iASP you need to read this:

InterForm400 can only be installed on one ASP. This ASP must be varied on for both

upgrading and installing.

Installation will insert a symbolic link like this, where ‘aspdev’ is the ASP device:

ADDLNK OBJ('/aspdev/APF3812Home') NEW LNK('/APF3812Home')

The libraries used by InterForm400 will all automatically be created in the same ASP as the

APF3812 library:

APFIMPORT (Library used during import)

APFEXPORT (Library used during export)

APFIMPDST (temporary library used during import)

APFEXPDST (temporary library used during export)

APFPTFnnnn (Libraries containing installed PTFs - number nnnn).

During a first time install you are prompted for which ASP you want to install on:

INS0103 InterForm 400 version 2009.M01 INTER03 This is the first time InterForm 400 is installed on this system. Press Enter to continue. Install to ASP device . . . : *SYSASP *SYSASP, ASP device F3=Exit F12=Cancel

For future upgrades the same ASP will be used. If you install InterForm400 into another ASP

than the system ASP, then you must go into InterForm400 configuration (after the install) and

make sure that the job queues and subsystem descriptions are placed in a library inside the

system asp.


G NOTE G Commitment control is used in InterForm400 when you rename fonts in InterForm400 via

option ‘7=Assign new font number’ as shown on page 288. This is the only function in

InterForm400 using commitment control. This is important to notice if you are running an iASP

installation: The ASP group must be set prior to font renumbering.

G NOTE G If you are running iASP and there is an abnormal end for the Auto_Form jobs, you can risk

that there are spooled files, that are partially created in the output queue APF3812/APFSYS.

This will not influence the functions of InterForm400.

1. Preparation

• Make sure your OS/400 level is at least Version 5 release 3 or newer. (Refer

to System Requirements page 364)

• Make sure you have QSECOFR rights on the System i, or similar with USER

CLASS *SECOFR authority. The user profile used for the install must at least

have *ALLOBJ, *SECADM and *SPLCTL authorities in order to be able to do

the install.

• Make sure you have a PCL4 or PCL5 compatible printer attached either

through a LAN (SNA APPC, TCP/IP LPD, Raw Socket (port 9100) or TN5250E)

or Twinax (direct or through a Terminal or a PC emulator card). Any PCL5

Printer configured to use IBM Host Print Transform can be used. Refer to

Appendix B page 373 for detailed information on attaching printers.

• Note that Laser printers with IPDS as the only language can not be used.

Normally you can define an additional printer device (type 3812) to point to the

same physical IPDS printer in order to print from InterForm400.

InterForm A/S 25

2. Installation

Installation/upgrade without a CDIf you do not have access to the CD drive of your System i or if the CD drive e.g. is not working

then you can install or upgrade InterForm400 without using the CD on the System i:

The easiest way to upload and restore the library is to use a small java program which you can

run on your PC (called from a .bat file). On the InterForm400 CD you can find two files called

RSTLIBPC.jar and RSTLIBPC.bat. In order to start uploading you can double click on the

RSTLIBPC.bat file. This will start up a DOS window and this window will then appear:

In the screen above you enter the System i identification i.e. IP-address or server name and a

user ID and password used for signing on to the System i. Type the library APF3812NEW as

this is where you want to restore to and select the save file to upload (called SAVF3812) .

W hen the upload is done you can start the real upgrade with the command

APF3812NEW/APF3812NEW and continue like below as if you where installing from a CD -

leaving out the LODRUN in the begining.

Alternative install without CD (via FTP)If you are unable to run the java program you can manually FTP the save file and install

via this. Here is how to do that:

1. First create a save file on the System i onto which you will upload the save file.

You can e.g. create it in qgpl with this command: CRTSAVF QGPL/SAVF3812

2. Next upload the save file SAVF3812 (e.g. found on the CD) e.g. via FTP onto

the save file (here we imagine the SAVF3812 file is placed in C:\temp and is to

be uploaded to qgpl/savf3812:

a. Open a DOS session on your PC

b. Type ftp followed by the ip address of your System i and press Enter, type

your user profile and password when prompted

c. Type lcd c:\temp (or wherever you have placed the SAVF3812 file

d. Type cd qgpl to temporarily place the save file in the qgpl library

e. Type bin to change to binary transfer

f. Transfer the file with the command: put SAVF3812

g. Type quit to exit the ftp session.

3. Now restore the apf3812new library from the save file QGPL/SAVF3812 (this

save flie in this example) with the command:

RSTLIB SAVLIB(APF3812NEW) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/SAVF3812)

4. Now you can delete the temporary save file:


DLTF FILE(QGPL/SAVF3812)

4. Start the upgrade or install via the command:

APF3812NEW/APF3812NEW

5. Skip the LODRUN instruction below but otherwise the rest of the installation

procedure is the same:

J TIP J If you have a very limited bandwidth you can also consider to upload a zip file with the save

file within onto the System i and then unzip the file directly on the System i (with

apf3812/unzip) before you copy the SAVF3812 file into a save file (The save file must be

created before) with the command:

CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('/pcdata/savf3812')

TOMBR('/qsys.lib/qgpl.lib/savf3812.file') MBROPT(*REPLACE)

CVTDTA(*NONE)

(Here we copy the file savf3812 in the IFS directory pcdata into a save file with the same name

in library qgpl).

Installing from a CDNow you are ready to install the InterForm400 system from a CD-ROM.®

Note: Refer to page 365 if you are performing the below steps as an upgrade to an existing

InterForm400 installation.®

1. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of your System i.

2. Enter the following CL command on a command line to install:

LODRUN DEV(Device)

W here Device is the name of the Device containing the media. (If you are using

the systems default CD-ROM drive you can use *OPT instead of the Device-

parameter.)

3. You are now prompted to choose your preferred language for the installation:

Note: If the installation detects an existing version of InterForm400 on®

your system you will, at this point, get prompted to selected

installation method. Refer to page 365 for more information on

release updates.
