The forms setup profile allows you to specify the various forms used in your installation. If you specify the various forms, these become options available to operators who are attempting to run jobs that produce printed output. They have the option of selecting special forms. When these special forms are selected, if that form is not mounted on their chosen print device, the print queue will hold their printed output until an operator command is given to tell the system that the print queue has had a change of form and their form is not properly mounted. At that point, their jobs will be released to the print queue and printed on the special form. This profile allows you to set up and maintain the various forms that are used in your installation.
#
This is the number used in the profile to record the form name and description.
Form Name
Enter either the form name or number used in your VMS system. Whichever is specified will be used as the form name or number when passed to the VMS print queue during the print submission. The name field is used internally only for print submission and does not display on the screen for viewing during form selection.
Description
Enter the description that best describes the form so the user can make the proper selection. If the form selected during print submission is not the form mounted on the printer selected, then the output will be held pending operator intervention.
Field To Change/Page1/Page2
<ENTER> to exit from this profile. Enter the form number in the range from 1 to U, but selecting only those shown on the current screen to modify any line. If the form to be modified is on the second screen, use P2 first to select the second screen and enter the number for the line to change. P1 and P2 provide the ability to move back and forth between screens. Enter a period in the form name field to blank a line.
