User’s Manual for InterForm400®  

This function will cause all remaining AFC functions (sequence lines) to be skipped.

If you want to insert AFC functions, that are to be executed for all spooled files not
specifically handled in previous lines you could use this function. Just after handling a
specific spooled file insert this function to exit from AFC. 

Example: 
Below we have defined, that spooled files with form type ‘DEMO’ should be merged with
overlay ‘IF400DEMO’, spooled files with form type ‘DEMO2' should be merged with
overlay ‘RULER’ and all other spooled files should be moved to output queue, PRT01
where they will be printed.

With this you can change FORMTYPE or USRDATA attributes of the input spool entry.

The idea of changing the form type is the requirement for a spool entry, which has been
processed under e.g. the overlay name INVOICE to be run through the statements
defined for the overlay SHIPPING. If the original spool entry had form type Invoice a
sequence line 1.Merge with InterForm400

 overlay would have made one printout. After

this sequence line you change the forms type of the original spool entry to Shipping
which will cause another 1. Merge with InterForm400

 overlay to add the SHIPPING

overlay and produce a new print-out.

The new form type assigned to the original input spool entry.

output queue. Changing of USRDTA will normally only be done to
