Setting Up and Maintaining Queues
14.6 Using Queue Options
The following sections provide guidelines for performing these tasks with all
forms, systemwide default forms, or customized forms:
Task
Type of
Form Reference
Display forms defined on a system All Section 14.6.7.1
Display the form assigned to a queue All Section 14.6.7.2
Change the systemwide default form Default Section 14.6.7.3
Create a form Customized Section 14.6.7.4

Delete a form Customized Section 14.6.7.7
Control line and page overflow All Section 14.6.7.8
Suppress initial form feed All Section 14.6.7.9
14.6.7.1 Displaying Forms Defined on a System
To display forms defined on a system, enter SHOW QUEUE/FORM/FULL. If you
know the name of the form, you can specify the form name as a parameter.
Example
$ SHOW QUEUE/FORM/FULL MEMO
Form name Number Description
--------- ------ -----------
MEMO (stock=DEFAULT) 110 LN03 indented memo format
/LENGTH=66 /MARGIN=(TOP=2,BOTTOM=2,LEFT=5) /STOCK=DEFAULT /TRUNCATE
/WIDTH=80
14.6.7.2 Displaying the Form Assigned to a Queue
To display the default form for a queue, enter SHOW QUEUE/FULL.
Example
In the following example, the default form is REPORT and its stock is 8_5x11.
All jobs processed on this queue that are not associated with an explicit form
definition in the PRINT command have the default form REPORT. As long as
the stock of the mounted form matches the stock of the default form, all jobs
submitted to this queue without an explicit form definition will be scheduled to
print.
$ SHOW QUEUE/FULL JEAN_PRINT
Printer queue JEAN_PRINT, idle, on BAY::TTA3:, mounted form 8_5x11
<Queue for printer in Jean’s office>
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=REPORT (stock=8_5X11)) /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:R)
14.6.7.3 Changing the Systemwide Default Form
A queue initialized without the /DEFAULT=FORM qualifier uses the systemwide
default form to process print jobs not explicitly associated with a form definition.
The systemwide default form corresponds to the form number 0 and uses the
following options:
/MARGIN=(BOTTOM=6)
/STOCK=DEFAULT
/TRUNCATE
/WIDTH=132
/LENGTH=66
