Concatenating ACIF output files

To use AFP Workbench Viewer to view the document file on a workstation, you must first concatenate the resource file, the index object file, and the document file to create a MO:DCA print file. The order of the files in the concatenated file must be:

  1. Resource file
  2. Index object file
  3. Document file
Note: The concatenated file can contain only a single resource file, but multiple index and document files. For example, one resource file (RESDATA), two index object files (INDXOBJ1 and INDXOBJ2), and two document files (OUTDOC1 and OUTDOC2) can be concatenated in this order: 
RESDATA INDXOBJ1 OUTDOC1 INDXOBJ2 OUTDOC2
See Mixed Object Document Content Architecture Reference, AFPC-0004, for information about the print file structure.
