B-tree Support
The Form command has been enhanced to show whether there are B-trees that the
Suprtool Chain command can utilize. Form Sets shows a type of "i" for datasets that
have B-tree indexes. Currently the Chain command utilizes only those B-trees that
are type X or U. The Form command does not show B-trees that it cannot utilize,
even if the B-tree does exist.
The Form command also reports a damaged B-tree.

Formout File
The Form command writes all output to the file Formout. This file defaults to
$stdlist. You can redirect this file to a line printer or a disc drive. If you redirect the
Formout file to a disc file, Suprtool assumes a temporary file by default.
>:file formout;dev=lp
>form sets
>:file formout;dev=disc
>form d-inventory
{writes to line printer}
{writes to temporary disc file}
Default Form
If a Chain, Get, or Input command of a self-describing file has been entered, a Form
command without parameters shows the fields in the current input source. If a Base
command has been specified, but no input source, a Form command without
parameters does a Form Sets.
