The Start Auto Forms Control Job Command
The APF3812/STRAFCJOB command can be used for starting one specific Auto Forms
Control job. Using this command it is e.g. possible to schedule a CL-program calling this
command in order to start merging and printing at a giving time.
Remember, in order for the job to become active, it is necessary that the AUTO_FORM
subsystem is active. Refer to page 133.

The APF3812/STROSCJOB command is equivalent to choosing option 1 = Run OSC for
a specific output queue, on the Work with OSC definitions screen (see page 252).
Remember, that in order for the job to become active it is necessary, that the OSCCTL
subsystem is active. Refer to page 246.
Utilities relevant for AFC Exit programs
The Transform *AFPDS print Command
The APF3812/AFPTOASCII command converts AFPDS spool files to ASCII spool files.
This command operates in the same manner as function 3 = Transform AFPDS to
*USERACII in Auto Forms Control. Description and limitations can be seen at page 144.
Note, if you want to make use of this function, and the AFPDS spool files are using
resource libraries not listed in the system library list, then the job description,
APF3812/AUTO_FORM must be changed in order to include these libraries in the library
list.
The APF3812 Overlay Merge Command
The command APF3812/APF3812 is intended to be included in CL-programs, so a spool
entry created in a program, can be merged with an overlay within a job.
The command contains the following parameters: (Press F9 to display all the parameters
