Example of use
Use to create a number of blank documents when you wish to
hold specific document numbers or pre-enter document summary
information (Title, Operator, Comments, etc.).
Comments
Creates a document with a format line of 158, regardless of
the value entered in the DOCLEN field. Also doesn't allow
"next" as the document number, as current versions of the
Wang COPYWP utility and other programs. Of limited use for
these reasons.
