It's been quite a few years since we had mainframe attached printers, and I'm trying to recall what the FORMS SYSOUT parameter is used for. If I recall correctly, if a job going to a printer had a SYSOUT FORMS value that was different than the last job that was printed on that printer, the operator would be notified, they would change the forms for that printer to the correct one and then respond to the prompt. Is that correct? And does the FORMS value have any specific meaning? Or is it up to the shop to know which FORMS value is for which physical form type? More specifically, the FORMS value just a "free form" string of characters, or is it "configured" somewhere?
