ParametersQualifiers

/CHARACTERISTIC/FORM/KEY

equivalence-name
 A character string of 1 to 255 characters. If the string contains
 other than upper case alphanumeric, dollar sign, or underscore
 characters, enclose it in quotation marks ("). Use double quotation
 marks ("") to denote an actual quotation mark. Specifying more than
 one equivalence-name for a logical-name creates a search list.
logical-name
 A character string of 1 through 255 characters. If the string contains
 other than upper case alphanumeric, dollar sign, or underscore
 characters, enclose it in quotation marks ("). Use double quotation
 marks ("") to denote an actual quotation mark. If the logical name is
 to be entered into the process or system directory logical name
 tables, then the name may only have from 1 to 31 alphanumeric
 characters (including the dollar sign and underscore).
 Avoid assigning a logical name that matches the file name of an
 executable image in SYS$SYSTEM:.  Such an assignment will prohibit
 you from invoking that image.

/USER_MODE

 /SUPERVISOR_MODE (default)
 /USER_MODE
 Executive mode requires SYSNAM privilege.
 Specifies the mode of the logical name. If you specify executive mode
 without SYSNAM privilege, a supervisor mode logical name is created.
 The mode of the logical name must be the same as or external to (less
 privileged than) the mode of the table in which you are placing the
 name.

 /JOB
 /PROCESS (default)
 /SYSTEM
 Group logical names require GRPNAM or SYSPRV privilege.
 System logical names require SYSNAM or SYSPRV privilege.
 Specifies the table in which the logical name is to be placed. The
 /GROUP qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$GROUP. The /JOB
 qualifier is synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$JOB. The /PROCESS qualifier is
 synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$PROCESS. The /SYSTEM qualifier is
 synonymous with /TABLE=LNM$SYSTEM.

 See /GROUP.

 /NOLOG
 Displays a message when a new logical name supersedes an existing
 name.

 Specifies the attributes for a logical name. (By default, no
 attributes are set.) Possible keywords are:

 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | CONFINE  | Does not copy the logical name into a spawned |
 |          | subprocess.  Relevant only for logical names  |
 |          | in a private table.                           |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | NO_ALIAS | Prohibits creation of logical names with the  |
 |          | same name in a less privileged access         |
 |          | mode within the specified table.  Deletes any |
 |          | previously created, identical names in an     |
 |          | outer access mode within the specified table. |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+

 See /GROUP.

 See /EXECUTIVE_MODE.

 See /GROUP.

 Requires WRITE access to the table if the table is shareable.

 Specifies the name of the logical name table in which the logical name
 is to be entered. You can specify user-defined tables (created with
 the CREATE/NAME_TABLE command), the process, job, group, or system
 logical name table, or the process or system logical name directory
 tables. The default is LNM$PROCESS. If you specify a table name that
 translates to more than one table, the logical name is placed with the
 first table found.

 Qualifies each equivalence string.
 Specifies attributes of the equivalence strings. Possible keywords
 are:

 +-----------+----------------------------------------------+
 | CONCEALED | Indicates that the equivalence string is the |
 |           | name of a concealed device                   |
 +-----------+----------------------------------------------+
 | TERMINAL  | Terminates logical name translation after    |
 |           | translation of this equivalence string       |
 +-----------+----------------------------------------------+

/SHEET_FEED/STOCK/TRUNCATE/WIDTH/WRAP

 Specifies a string of from 1 to 255 characters to further describe the
 form. If the string contains alphanumeric, underscore, or dollar sign
 characters, it must be enclosed in quotation marks ("). The default
 string is the name specified in the DEFINE/FORM command.

 Specifies the physical length of a forms page as an integer in the
 range 1 through 255. Defaults to 66.  The print symbiont sets the
 page length of the device equal to the form length.

 Specifies one or more margin options. Possible keywords are:

 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | BOTTOM=n | Specifies the number of blank lines between   |
 |          | the end of the print image area and the end   |
 |          | of the physical page. The value of n must be  |
 |          | between  0 and the value of the /LENGTH       |
 |          | parameter and defaults to 6.                  |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | LEFT=n   | Specifies the number of columns between the   |
 |          | leftmost printing  position and the print     |
 |          | image area. The value of n must be between    |
 |          | 0 and the value of the /WIDTH parameter and   |
 |          | defaults to 0.                                |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+

 |          | /WIDTH parameter and  the image area. The     |
 |          | value of n must be between  0 and the value   |
 |          | of the /WIDTH parameter and defaults to 0.    |
 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+
 | TOP=n    | Specifies the number of blank lines between   |
 |          | the top of the  physical page and the top of  |
 |          | the print image.   The value of n must be     |
 |          | between 0 and the value of the /LENGTH        |

 +----------+-----------------------------------------------+

 /NOPAGE_SETUP (default)
 Specifies one or more modules that set up the device before every
 page.  The modules are located in the device control library.  When
 a new page is detected, the system extracts the appropriate modules
 from the device control library and copies them to the printer
 before the page is printed.

 /NOSETUP (default)
 Specifies one or more modules in the device control library that set
 up the device appropriately for the specified form. When the form is
 mounted, the system extracts the specified module(s) from the device
 control library and copies them to the printer before the job is
 printed.

 /NOSHEET_FEED (default)
 Specifies that print jobs pause at the end of every physical page so
 that a new piece of paper can be inserted.

 Specifies the type of paper stock to be associated with the form as a
 string of from 1 through 31 characters. The string must consist of
 alphanumeric, underscore, and dollar sign characters.

 /NOTRUNCATE
 Discards any characters that exceed the current line length (specified
 by /WIDTH and /MARGIN=RIGHT). Incompatible with the /WRAP qualifier.
 If you specify both /NOTRUNCATE and /NOWRAP, the printer prints as
 many characters on a line as possible.

 Specifies the physical width of the paper in terms of columns or
 character positions as an integer in the range 0 through 65535. The
 /MARGIN=RIGHT qualifier overrides the /WIDTH qualifier.  Defaults to
 132.

 /NOWRAP (default)
 Causes lines that exceed the current line length (specified by /WIDTH
 and /MARGIN=RIGHT) to wrap onto the next line. Incompatible with the
 /TRUNCATE qualifier. If you specify both /NOWRAP and /NOTRUNCATE, the
 printer prints as many characters on a line as possible.

Equates a key on the terminal keyboard to a character string.

equivalence-string
 A character string to replace the key as input. Enclose the string in
 quotation marks to preserve spacing and lowercase characters.

Additional information available:

/ECHO/ERASE/IF_STATE/LOCK_STATE/LOG/SET_STATE
/TERMINATE

 /NOECHO
 Displays the equivalence string on the screen after the key has been
 pressed. The /NOECHO qualifier is incompatible with the /NOTERMINATE
 qualifier.

 /NOERASE (default)
 Erases the current line before the key translation is inserted.

 /NOIF_STATE (default)
 Specifies a list of one or more states, one of which must be in effect
 for the key definition to work. The /NOIF_STATE has the same meaning
 as /IF_STATE=the_current_state.

 /NOLOCK_STATE (default)

 effect until explicitly changed. (By default, the /SET_STATE qualifier
 is in effect only for the next definable key you press or the next
 read-terminating character that you type.) Relevant only with the
 /SET_STATE qualifier.

 /NOLOG
 Displays a message indicating that the key definition has been
 successfully created.

 /NOSET_STATE (default)
 Specifies a new state to be set when the specified key is pressed. (By
 default, the current locked state is reset when the key is pressed.)
 Specify the state as a character string enclosed in quotation marks
 (").
