Re: Hole punching with IPDS printer - Form definitions

For the archives....

I found this in the "InfoPrint 60 Finisher Application Design
Guide" S544-5643

From what I've been able to find, the only way to get an IPDS printer to
hole punch output is to use a form definition that includes that
functionality.

I see lots of *FORMDF objects in QSYS, but only a handful have a
description...

Object Type Library Attribute Text
F1FE0010 *FORMDF QSYS 0,0 OFFSET;SIMPLEX;DRWR1;ED
F1FE0011 *FORMDF QSYS 0,0 OFFSET;DUPLEX ;DRWR1;ED
F1FE0012 *FORMDF QSYS 0,0 OFFSET;TUMBLE ;DRWR1;ED
F1FS0010 *FORMDF QSYS 0,0 OFFSET;SIMPLEX;DRWR1;SA
F1FS0011 *FORMDF QSYS 0,0 OFFSET;DUPLEX ;DRWR1;SA
F1FS2031 *FORMDF QSYS SADL STITCH; 2 UP; DRWR3
F1FZ0030 *FORMDF QSYS Z FOLD FRM DRWR3
F1FZ1021 *FORMDF QSYS Z FOLD LEDGER 1 UP LANDSCAP
F1FZ2021 *FORMDF QSYS Z FOLD LEDGER 2 UP PORTRAIT
F1H10110 *FORMDF QSYS
F1H10111 *FORMDF QSYS


Some z/OS references have lead me to believe that the F1Hxxxx definiations
may include hole punching...

Does anybody have or know where to find a list that shows what all the
*FORMDF shipped with IBM i OS are?

Thanks!
