When in universe use the relatively new option of setptr 'USEROPTS'
to pass your options to the pritner driver script -
then You may continue to use FORM and BANNER for what they are
intended for.

I Just want to re-direct specific jobs, but keep HOLD
My workaround is is READ/WRITE/DELETE the job from HOLD to
where I want it after the job

No way that I know of. But here's another workaround -
rewrite the VOC

We do this here with the following.
EXECUTE 'SETPTR ,132,60,4,0,1,BRIEF,FORM

The form ACHFILE is the file we store this report in.

This might be crossing the lines of the bizarre, but if you know your
HOLD entry name, why not execute a OS-level command to put a symlink
to it from another directory. The actual file doesn't move, but you
have access to it from another directory.

hmm. I've never used FORM xx with a directory. Does it
require a special DEVICES entry? I'll have
Don't know if this will help, but here is what I did to solve a similar
problem in Unidata. The first step we took was to start using the BANNER
UNIQUE (string) setptr option. Hopefully, that option is available in
Universe. So, the setptr command would contain something like BANNER
UNIQUE
Or execute an OS command to move the file from HOLD to wherever you
want it - then you don't actually have to open the other file

This may be more overhead than you want, but it's easy to use SETPTR mode 2
to print to a specific file
0001 * something you would do only once as part of installation
0002 EXECUTE 'CREATE-FILE ALT.HOLD 19'
0003
0004 PORT='HOLD':@USERNO ;* or something more unique like INVOICES
