The APAPARM Option Flow

When printing bundles, Control-D checks which type of printer is being used. If the printer type is APA, Control-D searches in the APAPARM library for a member with the same name as the job name that produced the report that is currently going to be printed. If such a member does not exist, Control-D prints the report without any special APAPARM process. If such a member exists, Control-D searches in the member for a +++repname line that contains the name (or mask) of the report that is currently ready to be printed. If such a line does not exist, Control-D prints the report without any special APAPARM process. If such a line exists, Control-D inserts the structured fields that follow at the beginning of the report. If a new chunk is produced (that is, the report size is greater than the chunk size) while printing the report, Control-D automatically adds the structured fields at the beginning of the new chunk.

Note: If a new chunk is created when using the chunking mechanism, Control-D adds the structured field or fields at the beginning of each new chunk.
