TLA Forms Overview
TLA Forms converts traditional IBM i spool files into high quality, professional forms that are output as PDF documents. A form is associated with a spool file and the form is designed. TLA Forms then 'watches' the IBM i output queue for a new spool file to be generated. When a new spool file is generated, TLA Forms reads the data from the spool file, places the data on the form, and outputs a PDF document. The PDF documents can be archived to the IFS or any network location, automatically printed, and emailed. Features:
- Select Data directly from an IBM i Spool File
- Burst IBM i spool files based on page or spool file data
- Add spool file data to form as Text using a wide variety of fonts and colors
- Add spool file data to form as Bar Code - including 2-dimensional bar codes
- Configure SQL statements to retrieve and use IBM i File data on forms
- Utilize Actions to show or hide objects on the form based on data within the spool file
- Insert Hyperlinks into the form to link to external url’s
- Import Color Graphics
- Import Color Overlays
- Create Tables
- Create reusable Templates to make form design even quicker
- Forms are automatically generated when a new spool file is generated in the IBM i output queue
- Forms can be archived to the IFS or any network location
- Forms can be emailed automatically
- Forms can be printed to PostScript printers, network or locally-connected Windows printers
- No programming required
