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 its description.
Form Name
You may enter either the form name or the form number used in your VMS system. Whichever you specify will be used as the form name or number when passed to the VMS print queue during the print submission. This name field does not display on the screen for operator viewing during form selection. It is used internally only for print submission.
Description
Enter a description that best describes the form so that the terminal operator 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 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, then use P2 first to select the second screen and then enter the number for the line to change. P1 and P2 provide you with the ability to move back and forth between the two screens.
Enter a period in the form name field to blank a line.
