2. The example below shows how Peruse can find a phrase regardless of whether
the characters are uppercase or lowercase:
_F B 'NONSTOP'
NonStop system software.

3. In this example, Peruse begins searching on page 95 of the job for the specified
string:
_F B /debug/ 95
with the DEBUG subcommand.

FORM Command
The FORM command alters the form name of the current job. If there is no current job,
then the job most recently spooled becomes the current job. The form name of a job
denotes the requirement for a special print device or paper associated with that printer.
form-name
is a string of as many as 16 letters, digits, and spaces. If you omit form-name,
Peruse assigns a form name containing all blanks.
Considerations
•
For a job to print on a given device, both the job and the device must have the
same form name.
•
The assignment of form names to jobs and devices is completely arbitrary, but it is
intended to prevent jobs that require special print devices or paper from being
printed on the wrong device. You can assign any form name to your job, but only
the system operator can change the form name of a device. Use the DEV or JOB
STATUS command to check for form-name restrictions on your destination device.
•
When you queue a job to the spooler, it is given a form name containing all blanks.
•
All form names are automatically shifted to upper case.
•
The FORM command is not supported for a single job that is part of a batch job. If
a batch job is current, the FORM command operates on all jobs that are part of the
batch job.
•
The FORM command is not supported if the current job is a spooler job file.
