Problem duplicating Spool file with Overlay

[carrots]

Hi all

Here my scenario : as i would need to duplicate spool file (AFPDS) with overlay, i found this command (DUPCHGSPLF) at http://www.code400.com/forum/forum/i...to-other-out-q

This works fine, except when i change the parameter NEWUSER to assign the duplicate spool to another user ; in this case in fact when i print or display the spool file i don?t see the overlay data, also if in the Spoolfile Attribute i see OK the FRONTOVL value (MyOvl / *Libl)


Example

If i run

DUPCHGSPLF JOB(312040/MYUSR/QPADEV0003)

SPLFILE(MYSPLF)

SPLNBR(000124)

And i open the spool file with ACS (access client solution) i see the overlay

Instead if i run

DUPCHGSPLF JOB(312040/MYUSR/QPADEV0003)

SPLFILE(MYSPLF)

SPLNBR(000124)

NEWUSER(MYUSRNEW)

And i open the spool file with ACS (access client solution) i DON?T see the overlay

This the file spool attribute

JOB. . . . . . . : QPRTJOB File . . . . . . . . : MYSPLF

User . . . . . . : MYUSR Number . . . . . . : 000013

Number . . . . . . : 313776 Date . : 24/03/18



Sovrapposizione su fronte pagina:

Overlay. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : MYOVL <--- FRONTOVL

Lib. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *LIBL

Posizione relativa in verticale . . : ,17

Posizione relativa in orizzontale . : ,15

i noticed the QPRTJOB ?. Could it be the cause ??

i tried also to set in the parameter Lib, the library name where the ovl ha been created (at the place of *LIBL) but the problem remains ..

instead if i copy the OVL in QGPL all is OK

seems that PRTJOB can?t find the OVL outside of the system LIBL ??

if you could give me some suggestions i would be gratefull


Thanks in advance

Carrots,

On the chance that you are using the Green Screen displays on your development environment, you are not going to see the overlays in your test environment when looking at the spool file in Green Screen mode. I do see that you've attempted that process in some other ways. When using AFPDS, things like OVERLAYS are kind of particular when it comes to seeing them when viewing them on a Green Screen. You might want to consider taking your test results and actually printing them. If your results are for a printed document, this would be possibly a better way to find any difficulties.

I had a project where the spool file was OVERLAYed with a JPG image... the only way to see the end result, was to print it out.


Best Regards and Good Luck!
