INTRINSIC DESCRIPTIONS
to the file number of the file. VPRINTFORM opens the list file, with the formal and actual file
designator FORMLIST, assigns it to the device class LP, and specifies its length as 80 bytes.
This is equivalent to using the file equation:
:FILE FORMLIST;DEV=LP;REC=-80
A user may change any of these characteristics with an MPE :FILE command.
Example
COBOL
CALL "VPRINTFORM" USING COMAREA, UNDERLINE, PAGE.
BASIC
135 CALL VPRINTFORM(C(*),U,P)
FORTRAN
CALL VPRINTFORM(COMAREA,UNDRLN,PAGE)
SPL/PASCAL
VPRINTFORM(COMAREA,UNDERLINE,PAGE);
Each of the calls shown above prints the current form on a list device; if not already open,
it opens the device file.
