    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.
