What "special printing and processing" needs to be done that can't be
done in *clerk?  Is it a simple matter of FORM not running the output
processing?  If so, simply CALL the output processing rather than doing
a FORM, and end the output processing with:

    If:  @sn ne ""
  Then:  FORM "formname"
