HOST FORMS DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE

MEMber=selection specifies which member(s) you want to compile. Specify only one member by using the exact member name for selection. Specify a group of members by using a DOS style command such as * and ?. Specify all members in the partition data set by substituting selection with *.

FORm=selection specifies which member(s) you want to compile in a multi-form file. Specify only one form by using the exact form name for selection. Specify a group of forms by using a DOS style command such as * and ?. Specify all forms in the partition data set by substituting selection with *.

LITeral=character specifies a user-assigned character for introducing a literal. A literal is a character from the font character set, as opposed to a keyboard character. The character must be coded in ASCII hexadecimal after the literal character. The default literal introduction character is the exclamation point. To use the exclamation point as a normal keyboard character without having to key it twice in succession, override the default literal introduction using this operand.

Table 5-2 shows an example of how a different literal introduction character can be used to make frequent keying of the exclamation point easier:

	!, key:	&, key:
65%	65!25	65&25
SOLD!	SOLD!!	SOLD!

The code point for % is 25.

SHIFT=character specifies a user-assigned character for shifting text between uppercase and lowercase. The default shift character is the # character. To use the # character as a normal keyboard character without having to key it twice in succession, override the default shift using this operand.

Table 5-3 shows an example of how a different shift character can be used to make frequent keying of a normal # character easier:

PAPersize=name specifies the default paper size you want for your form. name is one of the following values: LT, LG, A4, A3, or B4.
