The SET.QUEUE command creates a relationship between a Pick style form queue number and the corresponding SETPTR print unit options.

queueis the form queue number in the range 0 to 999.

top.marginis the number of lines to be left blank at the top of the page.

 

bottom.marginis the number of lines to be left blank at the bottom of the page.

 

modeis the print unit mode.

If only queue is given, the current settings of the form queue are reported.

 

 

The SET.QUEUE command creates or modifies an entry in the $FORMS file to relate a Pick style form queue number to the corresponding SETPTR options. This form queue number can then be used in the SP.ASSIGN command. See SETPTR for details of the command options.

 

The SET.QUEUE DISPLAY command displays a report of the settings of all defined form queues. The optional LPTR keyword directs this report to a printer.

 

 

Examples

 

SET.QUEUE 0,80,66,3,3,1,AT laser

Directs form queue 0 output to a printer named "laser" with a page shape of 80 columns by 66 lines and a 3 line top and bottom margin.

 

SET.QUEUE 4,80,66,0,0,3,AS SALES_REPORT,BRIEF

Directs form queue 4 output to a record named "SALES_REPORT" in the $HOLD file.
