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

    The /STATUS qualifier uses the value of the final status code
    field to select records for processing. This field is present
    in all records except records of type USER, file backward link
    records, and file forward link records.

    The /STATUS qualifier selects only records that have the
    specified values in the final status code field. If you precede
    the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those
    with the specified values.

    See the description of the /BRIEF qualifier for details of how to
    convert a final exit status code to the equivalent message text.

    Each status-code must be a hexadecimal number of eight digits or
    less.
