FORMSALIGN
FORMSALIGN
Configures one spooled printer or a group of spooled printers related by device class, to
conditionally enter into a forms message dialog with its operator (s) when the current
spoolfile includes a forms message.
Syntax
FORMSALIGN[DEV=]{ldev | devclass | devname }
[;[DIALOG=]{{EACHCHANGE | EACHFILE | EACHCOPY }[,{FORMIDOVERRIDE |
NOFORMIDOVERRIDE}]}]
[ ;SHOW]
Parameters
ldev The logical device number of a printer. The printer must be configured as
an MPE Type 32 device.
devclass The device class name of a class of printers. Each printer in the class must
be configured as an MPE Type 32 device. The device class must begin with
a letter and consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters.
devname The device name of a printer. The device name must begin with a letter
and consist of eight or fewer alphanumeric characters. Users should note
that it is not possible to have a device class name and a device name
(which are the same). If you enter an alphanumeric character string, the
command will search the device class list first, and then the device name
list.
EACHCHANGE The spooler process conducts the forms message dialog only when the
(case-insensitive) forms message of the current spoolfile differs from that
of the previous spoolfile printed by that process when an overriding formid
specification is not in effect. Two different spoolfiles with the same forms
message will print without the forms message dialog if they are printed
consecutively.
EACHFILE The spooler process conducts the forms message dialog whenever the
spoolid of the current spoolfile differs from that of the previous spoolfile
printed by that process, the current spoolfile contains a forms message and
an overriding formid specification is not in effect. Two copies of the same
spoolfile will print without the forms message dialog if they are printed
consecutively.
EACHCOPY The spooler process conducts the forms message dialog for every copy of
every spoolfile which contains a forms message if an overriding formid
specification is not in effect.
FORMIDOVERRIDE This is a sub-parameter of the chosen EACHxxx keyvalue. With this
feature selected, the Native Mode Spooler first checks its current and
previous spoolfiles for the same non-blank, case-insensitive formid. If the
