Here are the AFP utilities you could use in such a conversion:
Utility |
Description |
MRG2FAP |
Converts a Documerge AFP print stream or Documerge AFP EDL member to a FAP file. When converting Documerge EDL members, field tags are automatically converted to variable fields in the FAP file. Use this utility instead of the OVL2FAP utility for converting Documerge AFP EDL members. |
OVL2FAP |
Converts an AFP overlay into a FAP file. |
FAP2OVL |
Converts a FAP file into an AFP overlay. |
AFP2PCL |
Converts an AFP character set file into a PCL font. |
PCL2AFP |
Converts a PCL font into an AFP character set file. |
PSEG2LOG |
Converts an AFP page segment file into a logo file. |
LOG2PSEG |
Converts a logo file into an AFP page segment. |
VB2AFP |
Converts an AFP file written in Documerge variable block format to an AFP file written in native AFP format. Most of our AFP utilities expect the AFP file (page segments, overlays, and so on.) to be written in native AFP format. |
AFP2VB |
Converts an AFP file that is written in native AFP format to an AFP file written in Documerge variable block format (probably won't be needed). |
AFPCOPY |
Converts an AFP print stream from cut-sheet to continuous-form. Whether you need this depends on the AFP printer you are using. |
AFP2MVS |
Converts an AFP print stream after it is uploaded from a PC to MVS so that it can be printed from MVS. |
AFPDUMP |
Converts an AFP print stream (or any AFP file) to a text file which contains a list of the AFP commands used. |
AFPCF |
Creates AFP coded font files. |
AFPFMDEF |
Creates an AFP form definition resource file. |
Note | Do not use the ADDCRLF utility. This utility adds CRLF bytes at the end of each AFP record so an AFP file can be uploaded by some communications packages. This is dangerous since AFP files can naturally contain the CRLF sequence before ADDCRLF is run and this would cause the communications package to upload the file incorrectly. The safe way to upload an AFP file from a personal computer is to use a binary upload in the communications package and then run the AFP2MVS utility on the host. |
