Using a Special FORMDEF (With Electronic Overlay)

Page markers can be initiated using a special electronic overlay for the user banner pages. The overlay can be initiated either using the IPO structured field (PSF Release 2 and above) or by using a special FORMDEF for printing banners. The overlay prints a box on the edge of the page. The overlay can be created using OGL (Overlay Generation Language) - an IBM product for creating electronic overlays. A similar method is used for the default job separators when first installing PSF for non-Control-D printing.

When using a special FORMDEF, this same FORMDEF is used for all banners. For this reason, we recommend defining this FORMDEF with two Copy Groups. Use one Copy Group for all banners except the User Start Banner, and a second Copy Group for the User Start Banners. Make the first (default) Copy Group the Copy Group for all banners except the User Start Banner.
