FORMSPEC accepts only forms files that are MPE files
with the file code of VFORM. If you have a forms file
that is a KSAM file, created by versions of VPLUS/V
prior to A.01.01, refer to Appendix H for instructions
on converting KSAM files to MPE files.

NOTE If your file has a lockword, you must enter the lockword along with
the file name, as filename/lockword. If you do not enter a
lockword with the file name and one is required, your terminal
hangs. This is because the MPE prompt requesting the lockword is
in character mode and cannot be received while your terminal is in
block mode. You can recover from this error by doing a hard reset
followed by pressing RETURN at least four times, then pressing
EXIT. How you perform a hard reset depends on what type of terminal
you are using; consult your terminal manual for instructions.
