Asking for a friend who has been tasked to change the logo that is printed on the reports being generated by Infoprint on z/OS. They have a PAGEDEF and FORMDEF that contains the logo, but the person who originally set that up is long gone. He has familiarity with Infoprint and how to get the reports generated and all that, but not with how the xxxxxDEFs are created.
My instincts (as someone who did a lot of PSF-related stuff back in the late 80s) is that this was the job of PPFA. You could upload a JPG, one-page PDF, or GIF (or whatever), and tell PPFA to build the PAGEDEF and FORMDEF for it. Blah blah blah <insert technical description> blah blah blah. Right. My familiarity with PSF was restricted almost entirely to VM, and that back to the late 80s when I was doing PSF/VM testing on a new release of VM. I think I may have used PPFA exactly once during that time. If it *is* PPFA that deals with this, and assuming the source files for the current pagedef/formdef are still extant, what kinds of files should he be looking for and where would they most likely be? If the files aren't there, can PPFA read in the existing xxxxDEF objects so that he can modify them without starting from the very beginning? Yes, I could tell him to RTFMs, but there's a lot of FMs to R and I'd like to point him in the right direction so he can start digging. Thanks for your help.
