printform Command--Print a Form to a File
The printform command creates a text file containing an image and description of the form and its fields.
The printform command works like the Print operation in VIFRED, which can be found on the Utilities submenu of the Forms Catalog frame.
The printform command has the following format:
printform dbname |vnode::dbname[/server_class] form filename [-uusername]
[-Ggroupid]
dbname
Identifies the name of the database, and if required, the vnode and server_class, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters on page 16.
form
Specifies the name of the form. You can print only one form at a time.
filename
Specifies the name of the text file to which the form is printed.
-uusername
Specifies the effective user for the session, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters on page 16.
-Ggroupid
Specifies a group identifier, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters on page 16.
On VMS, enclose this parameter in double quotation marks ("-Ggroupid").
