Deletes a form (for printer or terminal queues) previously established
with the DEFINE/FORM command. The /FORM qualifier is required.
Requires OPER (operator) privilege.
Format
DELETE/FORM form-name
Parameter
form-name
Specifies the name of the form to be deleted.
Description
The DELETE/FORM command deletes a form definition from the system forms
table. When you delete a form, there can be no outstanding references
to the form either in queues that have been mounted with the form or by
jobs requesting that form. To locate all references to the form, use
the SHOW QUEUE/FULL command.
To modify a form's name or number, you must delete and redefine the
form. Values for any DEFINE/FORM qualifier can be modified by
reentering the DEFINE/FORM command with different values, as long as
the form name and number remain the same.
Qualifier
/LOG
/NOLOG (default)
Controls whether the DELETE/FORM command displays the name of each form
after its deletion.
Examples
The DELETE/FORM command in this example deletes the form named CENTER.
