HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V)

LIST 

Lists a specified form or all forms on the list device.

Syntax 

             LIST [form]

Parameters 

form             is the name of the form in the current forms file to be
                 listed.  When form is not specified, all forms in the
                 current forms file are listed.

Discussion 

The LIST command can be used to provide documentation for a forms file.
The forms are usually listed on the line printer.  The LIST command can
also be used to list forms to a disc file to be examined.  To do so, use
the MPE :FILE command to redefine the formal file designator FORMLIST as
shown below:

          :FILE FORMLIST=MYFILE;DEV=DISC;SAVE;NOCCTL 

will list forms to the disc file, MYFILE. The SAVE keyword specifies that
MYFILE be saved as a permanent file.  The NOCCTL keyword indicates that
no carriage control characters are written to the file.  (See the MPE 
Commands Reference Manual (30000-90009), for more information on the
MPE:FILE command.)

The LIST command prints a maximum of 60 lines per page.  This maximum may
be changed by setting the JCW.
