Greetings, we are trying to print a report with two pages. Each page has its own overlay, and so far we have been unable to print both of them in the same printer file using FRONTOVL and BACKOVL.
We have a simple program that uses O specs and a CL that calls this program that does the FRONTOVL and BACKOVL in a OVRPRTF command. The problem is that when printing the system handles everything through the FRONTOVL, so even if the file in the spool shows that the correct BACKOVL overlay is being used, it doesn't get printed.
So far the only "solution" we have been able to find is to use two printer files in the same program and use the first file for the first page and so on.
Is there a better way to do this? We don't have duplex capable printers, so that isn't an option. When does the BACKOVL get used?
