called EPOCLIST is created (or appended to, if it already exists). EPOCLIST can be saved and
renamed on completion of the screen capture, then input to TDP and 'finaled'. The user can
add text to the file or include it in a separate TDP file. Refer to the TDP Reference Manual
for more information on use and include files.
The following files are sample files supplied on the FOS installation tape. They should be
restored to a local group to be used by applications using VPRINTSCREEN in
documentation mode. To accomplish this, mount the FOS tape and perform the following
restore commands:
:file t;dev=TAPE:restore *t;V@.HP32209.HPPL89;local;show
These files may also be a non-local group, provided the application supplies a file equation,

In order to print the forms on a laser printer, an environment file must be created (if it
does not already exist). Refer to the IFS/3000 Reference Guide for more information. The
environment files for the HP2680 and HP2688 laser printers are VENV80 and VENV88
respectively. All environment files must include the font ids listed under "Limitations"
below.
EPOCLIST uses VSETUP, a TDP include file, as the default file to reference the environment
files, which must be accessible to TDP in order for EPOCLIST to be printed. If an
environment file other than VENV80 or VENV88 is used, EPOCLIST must be modified to
reference this file, and the font definitions from VENV80 and VENV88 must be included in
it (see "Limitations" below).
Printing Screens from TDP. To print the contents of EPOCLIST to a laser printer, follow
these steps:
1. :PURGE (or :RENAME) EPOCLIST
2. :SETJCW VPRINTJCW=1
3. :RUN <your application program>
4. Use the print function wherever it is available to save the screen contents, including
data, in EPOCLIST.
5. Exit the application.
6. :SAVE EPOCLIST
7. :RENAME EPOCLIST, <new name> If you do not rename EPOCLIST, the output generated
the next time the application is run will be appended to the existing file.
8. :RUN TDP.PUB.SYS
9. Text in the file and execute the command, "Final from <new name> to *HP2680" (or
