Q:                                                                              
Topic thread:

 PSF/AIX                                                                        
  PRINT XPSF6000                                                                
                                                                                
1) Can we place a structured field in the OTF data from SAP                     
   using the OTF2AFP transform. The target is to drive AFP                      
   resources from the SAP R3 application. This was working                      
   with R/2 on the mainframe.                                                   
                                                                                
2) When is the TIFF support available with the OTF2AFP transform for            
   the AIX version?                                                             
                                                                                
A:                                                                             
R1)  If you're asking about the ability to include IPO or IPS                   
structured fields, the answer is no, you cannot specify any structured          
fields with OTF.  You can, however, invoke different medium maps (IMMs)         
using the OTF OPEN PAGE command in the OTF data stream.                         
                                                                                
R2)  I believe what you're asking about is support for the OTF RD               
command (bitmap image support).  That support is available in InfoPrint         
Manager V3.1 that is available 23 Oct 1998.                                     
                                                                                
No new function will be added to PSF/AIX or its version of the OTF              
transform. Defect support for PSF/AIX will continue until January 31,           
2001, but PSF/AIX has been withdrawn from marketing effective December          
11, 1998.                                                                       
                                                                                
I hope this helps.
