Hi,

We have a well-elaborated high-volume printing environment located on the mainframe using the AFP(DS)-architecture. We want to open-up this environment for output coming from the Unix and Windows-platforms.

This means that we need to get these environments producing text-AFP(DS) with the possibility of adding some metadata (such as listidentification or destinee) as an extra requirement.

We consider the use of IBM's AFP-driver with seperator-pages (for metadata) for this purpose. We know that Elixir and ISIS-Papyrus have similar solutions.

Is there anyone doing something alike and willing to share experiences?

Kind regards,
Kristof.
