Printing a medium overlay

A medium overlay can be called on the JCL OUTPUT statement or in the form definition. To print a medium overlay:

1. Create an overlay resource. You can create an overlay by using an AFP utility such as IBM® Overlay Generation Language (OGL). For more information, see Overlay Generation Language User’s Guide and Reference, S544-3702.
2. Use the overlay by one of these methods:
   • Specify the overlay name on the OVERLAYF parameter, the OVERLAYB parameter, or both parameters on the JCL OUTPUT STATEMENT.
   • Use a form definition that names that overlay for printing. You can build the form definition by using an AFP utility such as IBM Page Printer Formatting Aid (PPFA). For more information about building form definitions, see Page Printer Formatting Aid: User’s Guide.
3. To identify the medium overlay as a preprinted form overlay, create a form definition with a medium preprinted form overlay local ID keyword (X'D2') on the MMC structured field. You can build the form definition with an AFP utility that supports preprinted form overlays.
