You may create the form either from the command line or by editing
the QMS$START_QUEUE.COM file with the following command:
$ DEFINE/FORM form_name form_number -
_$ /DESCRIPTION= string -
_$ /SETUP=( mod1_name,mod2_name,... ) -
_$ /LENGTH=nn -
_$ /WIDTH= nn -
_$ /PAGE_SETUP=( mod1_name,mod2_name,... )
You provide a form_name (1 to 31 characters long) and form_number
(in the range 1 to 127). You may use the DESCRIPTION qualifier to
include a description of the form which is sent to the printer between
each file.
The /PAGE_SETUP parameter causes the specified module(s) to be
downloaded to the printer between each page. The page is defined
either by the /LENGTH form parameter or by the occurrence of a
form-feed character.
»
Note: All text forms qualifiers are ignored if the emulation is not
declared to be LN03 Plus, HP PCL, or Lineprinter.
The following SETUP definition uses the set-up module BORDER.PS
created earlier in this section:
$ DEFINE/FORM TOP_SECRET 99 -
_$ /DESCRIPTION= Confidential pages -
_$ /SETUP=BORDER -
_$ /PAGE_SETUP=( mod1_name,mod2_name,... )
If you use set-up modules and forms with the QMS printer, the set-up
modules you reference must be inserted in the QMS$DEVCTL20.TLB
library. See "Using Set-up Modules, Forms, and Characteristics" on
page 5-3 for more information.
Users on the network may view the forms you have established by
using this command:
$ SHOW QUEUE/FORM/FULL
