User’s Manual for InterForm400® 161
with formtype *STD in order to limit the subsystem QSPL to process jobs
with this formtype only, thus leaving all jobs regardless of formtype to be
processed by subsystem AUTO_FORM.:
STRRMTWTR OUTQ(APF3812/AFC_OUT1) FORMTYPE(*STD)
J TIP J
When using the same output queue for both Input and output it is highly recommended
to include the form type when starting the writer jobs in program QSTRUPPGM, in order
to be sure that the writers are started up with the correct Form Type after IPL. However
this is automatically fixed, when using STRWTRCHK as described above.
M WARNING M
Note that some PC emulated writers, such as the Client Access printer session,
automatically starts the writer with FORMTYPE=*ALL when initialising. Then the only
practical solution is the one mentioned first above (APF3812/STRWTRCHK).
Step 2. Creating the AFC Definition:
Enter menu 5. Work with Auto Forms Control and select option 1. Function attached
to Output queues. Here we press F6 to create a new definition:
Update Auto Forms Control Definition AFC302D
Output queue . . . . . . : AFC_INPUT2
Library . . . . . . . : APF3812
Type choices and then press Enter. Press F3 or F12 to exit.

Here we define the queue to monitor should be AFC_INPUT2. We assign the same name
for the AUTO_FORM subsystem job, as it will be easier to recognise the correct job when
looking at active jobs.
As we will use the same queue for Input and Output for our AFC definitions, we assign the
same queue name for the default output queue.
For printer and interface type we state values matching our specific printer.
There should be no criteria for changing the writer, so we press Enter twice to get the
AFC function entry screen.
