Isn't it the other way 'round? The operator "tells" the printer to print output matching ceratin criteria, such as FORMS ($tprtxyz FORMS=FORM1). This effectively tells JES to only reply to PSF's "is-there anything-I-can-print"-inquiries with output that has FORMS=FORM1. When there is no more output with FORMS=FORM1, the printer will go idle until either the next output arrives or the operator changes the setup ($tprtxyz FORMS=).
