Change your PRTF (CHGPRTF) with the keyword DEVTYPE(*AFPS).

We work with overlays all the time. First of all I don't believe you can copy it. Once you have your overlay created in you need to save it as a .PRN file on your IFS.

Then create use the following commands:

To bring it from the IFS to the iSeries:

CPYFRMPCO FROMFLR(name of folder) TOFILE(libname/OVERLAYS) FROMDOC(name of .PRN file) TOMBR(name of overlay on iSeries) TRNTBL(*NONE) TRNFMT(*NOTEXT)

Next create the overlay on the iSeries:

CRTOVL OVL(libname/overlay name) FILE(libname/overlays)

Now you have the overlay created on your iSeries.


Keep in mind your printers need to be capable of printing advanced functions or AFPDS.

I am fairly sure you can FTP an overlay from a save file as Binary FTP.
