Displays information about forms defined for the system. Forms
define the size and type paper and the layout of text that are
used for print jobs.
Format
SHOW QUEUE/FORM [form-name]
1 – Parameter
form-name
Specifies the name of the form. The asterisk (*) and the percent
sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for
the form-name parameter is an asterisk (*), which means that the
names of all forms on the system are displayed.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /BRIEF
/BRIEF (default)
Displays a brief description (form names, numbers, and
descriptions) about the forms on the system.
2.2 /FULL
Displays a full description (including paper size and margin
settings) about the forms on the system.
2.3 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default
the output of the SHOW QUEUE/FORM command is sent to the
current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the
output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The file specification cannot include the asterisk (*) and the
percent sign (%) wildcard characters. If you enter a partial
file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
