Hello Justin,
Do you know if there is a way to print the newly generated spool, with the overlay on a printer? Without converting it to pdf.
All my attempts fail, it prints the SCS data, but not the overlay. If I convert it to pdf and then print, it's okay.
But for my workflow, it would be of great help to be able to apply the overlay and send it to a outq as a regular spool file.
Regards.

Hey Paolo,
Yeah, adding an overlay to an existing SCS spool file is totally doable. I ran into the same snag before, but this thread helped me out big time.
What you can do is:
- First, make sure you have the overlay file ready to go.
- Then, you'll want to create a new spool file with your overlay using the OVRPRTF command. That's where the magic happens.
- Finally, you can copy your existing spool file content into the new one with the overlay using CPYSPLF.
Give it a shot, and hopefully, it works out for you too! Let me know if you need more details.
Cheers
