Moving forms from one VMS server to another VMS server

[Jorge Cocomess]

Hi,

Would you know why I run into this error when I tried the Library/Extarct command?

>LIBRARY/EXTRACT=(HP9W)/OUTPUT=HP9W.TXT SYS$LIBRARY:HP.TLB
%LIBRAR-E-LOOKUPERR, error looking up HP9W in SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB]HP.TLB;1
-LBR-E-KEYNOTFND, key not found

Please advise.

Thank you.

Jorge

sys$library can be a search list
to check there is only one
DIR sys$library:hp.tlb

to find out what modules are in the library
LIB /LIS /FULL sys$library:hp.tlb

[Jorge Cocomess]

Phil - Per your suggestions, I found the HP.TBL and I found all the listings in the HP.TBL

The form that define (HP9W) is not in the HP.TBL table, should it be?

I am still very new about forms and HP library, so please bare with me.

What should I do next?

Thanks for your time.

Jorge

[Phil.Howell]

can you post the output from the following on both your old and new systems?
dir sys$library:*.tlb
lib /lis /full of all the tlb files shown
also have a look at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6017/6017pro_062.html#assign_lib

Phil - Do I need to do anything special if I add a new HP printer in our department before we can get it properly print? As of now, we have a new printer isn't print landscape correctly, seem though the characters doesn't condensed enough to properly fit on one page.

Here's the ouput of the new printer that I was referring to:
Printer queue HP9050_ACC, idle, on ROVER::"HP9050_ACC:9100", mounted form A
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FLAG=ONE,FORM=DEFAULT,TRAILER) /LIBRARY=HP
Lowercase /OWNER=[SYSTEM] /PROCESSOR=TCPIP$TELNETSYM
/PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /SEPARATE=(RESET=(HP_RESET))

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jorge

I would try using one of the LND* modules in your library, start with LNDELITE
Phil

[Jorge Cocomess]

Phil - How would I go about doing that??

Please explain.

Thank you for your time.

Jorge

[Phil.Howell]

define/form /setup=LNDELITE a

print test.txt /form=a /queue=hp9050_acc

[Jorge Cocomess]

Phil - Should I setup the /width to 180 or 132?

/width=180

Thank you.

Jorge

Any form used with embedded control sequences should be defined with /notruncate /nowrap and the width really doesn't matter; set it to the "text" width of the paper.
