a SETPTR like:
SETPTR 0,,,,,1,FORM TO_FILE,BANNER UNIQUE filename_may112007_10_24

2007/5/10, Jerry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
When the jobs are spooled they stay in the queue until we change the
form
type on the printer queues. We also have a paragraph that is run
periodically during the day that sets the form type on the print queues
using the usa command (SH -c "/ibm/uv/bin/usa -p HP2132 -F FILE").
