COBLPFORM 

The Micro Focus COBOL system emulates printer channels C01 through C12 by
line feeds and form feeds.  COBLPFORM allows you to define the line
numbers on the form, thus enabling you to write to these printer
channels.

Syntax: 

     COBLPFORM="n: : : :n: : :n: : :n"
     export COBLPFORM

Parameters: 

n                   are digits which specify the line number you require
                    for the relevant channel.  Note that any channels
                    which have either line number 0, mnemonics S01, S02,
                    or CSP, or are undefined, are set to line 1, that is
                    to the beginning of the page.

Example: 

      COBLPFORM="1: : : : : : : : : : :60"
     export COBLPFORM

This sets channel 1 to line 1, and channel 12 to line 60.
