Customer wants to know if there is a way for PSF/6000 to accept AFPDS           
input and automatically output PCL to a file?                                   
                                                                                
We are familiar with the pcl2afp transform which allows us to transform         
pcl input to afp output and store to a file.  Is the a module we can            
access that will allow us to transform afp to pcl and store to a file?          
                                                                               
We have successfully taken AFPDS input and output as pcl to a file by           
changing the command to execute for output and directing to a specific          
file; however, we haven't figured out how to have the backend                   
automatically assign a file name.                                               
                                                                                
A:                                                                              
There is no mechanism in PSF/6000 to save AFP that has been converted           
to PCL4 or PCL5 to a file.  The only approach I'm aware of is the one           
that you've already tried. You may wish to submit a requirement through         
HONE REQUESTS if your customer feels this is a significant shortcoming.
