User’s Manual for InterForm400® 167
Using a “TEMPLATE” AFC defintion
As all printers being used together with InterForm400
®
has to have an AFC-definition
defined, the use of a TEMPLATE AFC definition is very useful. A lot of the printers being
monitored by AFC, will often have the same requirements in terms of which spool files are
to be merged with which overlays.
In the following example we delete the AFC entries made for AFC definition
AFC_INPUT1, even though the use of a template definition will also work when AFC
entries is made in the main AFC defintion. The template AFC entries will always be
executed after the AFC entries made in the main AFC definition.

Rather than making the same AFC entries for a lot of simular monitored output queues,
we create an AFC defintion with entries, which will operate as a template for other AFC
