At the end of the job step, forms length is restored to the previous value.

FoRMSNO: This optional parameter, which applies only to the job step in which the PRINTER statement was used, may be used to inform the operator which forms are to be mounted on the printer. This parameter can be any combination of 1 to 3 characters, except commas, apostrophes, or blanks. when this param€ter is used, the system halts with a message to the operator indicating the forms type to be used. when printing spooled printed output, the print writer issues a message whenever the forms type for the current print step is different from that of the previous print step. The response taken to this message informs the print writer if separator pages should be printed between jobs and job steps. see the IBM system/3 Model | 5 User's Guide to spooling, GC21-7632, for information on separator pages. lf the forms type operand is given in the START pRT command, the print writer will print only those job steps whose forms type matches that given in the START command. You can start the print writer with a different forms type by entering the sroP PRT command, followed by the START pRT command with a forms type operand. Starting the print writer without the forms type operand causes the p r i n t w r i t e r to print job steps i n t h e o r d e r t h e y a p p e a r o n t h e p r i n t q u e u e .

The PUNCH statement enables you to define the system punch device for the partition in which the statement was received.
The new system punch device remains in effect until changed by another PUNCH state-m e n t o r u n t i l a n o t h e r I P L o c c u r s .
During system generation of a default system punch device is established for each p a r t i t i o n .
The PUNCH statement can be placed anywhere among the ocL statements. In a proce-dure, it must precede the RUN statement.

When the CARDNO parameter is used, the system halts and issues a message on the CRT indicating the card type to be used for the job or job step.
When punching spooled output on a 1442 Card Read Punch or 2560 MFCM, blank cards may be inserted between decks to cause all cards of the deck iust punched to be fed into the stacker. On the MFCU, the last card is stacked without the extra blank cards.
COPIES: This optional parameter allows the user to obtain from 1 to 99 copies of job step's spooled punch output. lf this parameter is not specified, only one copy is punched.
When more than one copy is requested, the END OF PCH STEP message must be re-sponded to before the punch writer will start punching the next copy. Once started, the punch writer punches the entire number of requested copies before continuing to the next j o b step on the punch queue. The COPIES p a r a m e t e r i s ig n o r e d w h e n p u n c h s p o o l i n g i s inactive or not supported for the specified device.
