VMS Help EXCHANGE, TYPE, Qualifiers  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

1 - /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG

    Controls whether TYPE displays the file specifications of each
    file displayed.

    If you specify /LOG, the TYPE command displays the following for
    each copy operation:

    o  File specifications of the input and output files

    o  Number of blocks or the number of records copied (depending on
       whether the file is copied on a block-by-block or record-by-
       record basis)

2 - /RECORD_FORMAT

       /RECORD_FORMAT=(option[, . . . ])

    Defines the internal record structure of a file and other
    attributes of the records.

3 - /REWIND

       /REWIND
       /NOREWIND

    Controls whether the DOS-11 input magnetic tape reel logically
    rewinds to the beginning-of-tape mark before EXCHANGE searches
    for the file name given in the input specifier.

    Use this qualifier only for DOS-11 magnetic tape devices. The
    default is /NOREWIND; you should use /REWIND when you want TYPE
    to start searching for a file at the beginning of the magnetic
    tape rather than at the current position.

4 - /VOLUME_FORMAT

       /VOLUME_FORMAT=option

    Defines the physical format of the volume to be processed. The
    default format qualifier is dependent on the device type.
