SYNTAX ELEMENTS

formqueue is the formqueue name. Up to 20 alphabetic, numeric or special characters (excluding asterisks and embedded spaces). The first character of the formqueue name must be alphabetic. Only the first fifteen characters are displayed. The complete 20 character name can be displayed by the formtype screen.

devicetype is the logical device type to be assigned:

LPTR	directly despooled device. Note - Cannot HOLD since print jobs are directly sent to O/S spooler
TAPE	jBASE tape device
PORT	terminal device (Also used when slave printing, see PORT-DESPOOL)
PROG	send to a device via a program (usually lp)
0	no device
NT	directly despooled to windows printername. Note - Cannot HOLD as with LPTR

devicename is the device name or program command to which output will be despooled.

NOTES

Parameters must be entered in the order shown in the syntax description. You will be prompted for any missing parameters.

There is no limit to the number of formqueues which can be created.
