/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb ACCOUNTING, /REMOTE_ID, Description  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The /REMOTE_ID qualifier uses the value of the remote ID field
    to select records for processing. This field is present in all
    records except file backward link and file forward link records.
    For records that contain information about DECnet for OpenVMS
    requests, this field contains a string that identifies the user
    who made the request. If the remote process was on an OpenVMS
    node, this is the user name of the user at the remote node.

    The /REMOTE_ID qualifier selects only records that have the
    specified values in the remote ID field. If you precede the
    values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those
    with the specified values.

    See also the /NODE and /ADDRESS qualifiers, which select or
    reject records for DECnet for OpenVMS requests made by nodes
    with specified names and addresses respectively.
