InterFormNG2 Manual

As the first thing InterFormNG2 retrieves a lot of spooled file attributes, when a spooled file is processed in the workflow.

 

Each of the attributes can be referred to in the workflow and in the designer as variables i.e. if you want to verify if the name of the input spooled file is 'QPRINT', then you can compare the variable $interform.input.spooled.splf with 'QPRINT'.

 

The video shows how the attributes can be used in the designer, but it is actually easier, if you simply select the spooled file attributes from the Attributes tab:
