USING VPLUS/V AN INTRO. TO FORMS DESIGN Self-Paced Training Guide

LIST SINGLE FORM 

Assuming you have run FORMSPEC and opened a forms file, the steps to list
a single form are:

   1.  On the Main Menu, specify a L in the selection box and the name of
       the form to be listed.

   2.  Press ENTER.

Action 

Using the steps outlined above, list the ORDER_HEAD form.  Figure 8-5
shows the values to enter on the Main Menu.

The listing of a single form is identical to that of each form on the
forms file listing.  The listing of the ORDER_HEAD form is shown as part
of Appendix A.

LIST TO PARTICULAR DEVICE 

When you request a form or forms file listing on the Main Menu of
FORMSPEC, the listing is automatically printed on a line printer.  If you
want to specify a particular line printer, you must use a file equation
(MPE :FILE command).

The formal designator of the FORMSPEC list file is FORMLIST. This is the
name you should specify in the file equation.  For example, to direct a
listing to an HP 2680 laser printer whose device name is PP, you would
need to exit FORMSPEC to return to MPE and enter the following command:

     :FILE FORMLIST;DEV=PP

Do not try this yet because the forms file has not been compiled.
