Format of the resources file

ACIF retrieves referenced AFP resources from specified libraries and creates a single file that contains these resources. With ACIF, you can control the number of resources and the type of resources in the file by using a combination of RESTYPE values and processing in the resource exit.

ACIF can retrieve all the resources that are used by the print file and can place them in a separate resource file. The resource file contains a resource group structure with this syntax:

BRG
  BRS
    AFP Resource 1
  ERS
  BRS
    AFP Resource 2
  ERS
  ..
  BRS
    AFP Resource n
  ERS
ERG

ACIF does not limit the number of resources that can be included in this object, but available storage is certainly a limiting factor.
