VMS Help SHOW, QUEUE, /FORM  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Displays information about forms defined for the system. Forms
    define the size and type paper and the layout of text that are
    used for print jobs.

    Format

      SHOW QUEUE/FORM  [form-name]

1 - Parameter

 form-name

    Specifies the name of the form. The asterisk (*)  and the percent
    sign (%)  wildcard characters are allowed. The default value for
    the form-name parameter is an asterisk (*),  which means that the
    names of all forms on the system are displayed.

2 - Qualifiers

 2.1 - /BRIEF

       /BRIEF (default)

    Displays a brief description (form names, numbers, and
    descriptions) about the forms on the system.

 2.2 - /FULL

    Displays a full description (including paper size and margin
    settings) about the forms on the system.

 2.3 - /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT[=filespec]
       /NOOUTPUT

    Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default
    the output of the SHOW QUEUE/FORM command is sent to the
    current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the
    output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
    specification.

    The file specification cannot include the asterisk (*)  and the
    percent sign (%)  wildcard characters. If you enter a partial
    file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
    SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.

    If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
