394.0. "BIG Username on Flag Page?" by AIMHI::SMITH (Nothing exists but atoms and space.) Fri Jan 30 1987 15:17

	When you send a job to a Print Queue, the Filename of the job
	is the largest letters on the Flag-Page. Is there a way to
	have a User specified name (as the largest letters) in place
	of the Filename? If some sort of System Service Routine needs
	to be implemented, I would certainly appreciate some help on
	that, as those are beyond my limited comprehension. Thanks.

	(I have posted this question in DCL, HACKERS and VMS notes).

394.1Supply a user-specified routineFROST::HARRIMANWorkin' in the Code MinesMon Feb 02 1987 11:408
    You need to write your own PAGE HEADER ROUTINE to supply to the
    symbiont. Read the Callable Utilities Manual, Mine is VMS volume
    5B... Look in PSM routines - PSM-18 is the page I have for "Using
    PSM routines to supply a Page Header Routine in a MACRO program"
    ...I think that's what you're looking for...

    	Paul,
    
    	Thanks. That seems to be it. Now all I need to do is learn
    	MACRO, and then I might be able to use the information.

	Isn't the User Name the largest?  On our VAX/VMS systems the
	User Name has always been in largest letters at the top of
	the flag page.  The second line is the file name and the
	bottom line is the job ID (both in smaller letters).
	Perhaps I am thinking of a BANNER page and you are indeed
	thinking of the FLAG pages (before each file of a single
	job under a single banner)?

	If you want to use your own text in place of the file name
	you can use the "/NAME=text" flag.
