Displaying Forms Control Options and 3800 Attributes

To display specific information about forms control options and 3800 attributes of spool files, use the expanded information (EXP) option. Enter one of the following commands:

query reader exp
query printer exp
query punch exp

In response to these commands, CP displays information similar to the following:

ORIGINID FILE CLASS RECORDS  FLASH FCB MDFY  FLSHC LOAD CHARS               SIZE
userid   spid c typ nnnnnnnn ovly  fcb mod n ccc   NO   name name name name size
                                                   BEG
                                                   ANY

Where:

ORIGINID

is the logon identification (user ID) of the file owner or originator. OWNERID display when userid or the XFER operand is used, or when a class D user is defaulting to, or specifying, SYSTEM.

FILE

is the spool file's identification number.

CLASS

tells you the class of the spool file and the type of device on which the spool file was created.

RECORDS

is the number of logical records in the spool file.

FLASH

is the name of the forms overlay frame that is superimposed on the output.

FCB

is the name of the forms control buffer (FCB) in use.

MDFY

is the name of the copy modification module and the number (0, 1, 2, or 3) of the copy modification character arrangement table you are using to alter output text.

FLSHC

is the number of copies printed while the forms overlay frame is in place.

LOAD

is where the 3800 LOAD CCWs are positioned within the spool file. There are three possible responses:

NO: means that there are no LOAD CCWs in the spool file.
BEG: means that LOAD CCWs are in the beginning of the spool file.
ANY: means that LOAD CCWs are located throughout the spool file.

CHARS

is the name of the character sets that determine the size and style of the characters on your printed output. You may specify up to four names.

SIZE
