If you want the full function of PSF, you can (at least you used to be able to) order the PSF Command Feature. We have been doing it this way for many years. I believe you now have to order it as though were going to drive the minumum number of printers directly on VM. you then install just the PSF Command and Resource portions. You will have a PSF command which will build all of the XAB information that gets sent across RSCS with your data to control all of the features including PAGEDEFs, FORMDEFs, etc. You may be able to do all of that with some creative programming on CMS without the software.
