/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb CMS, MODIFY, ELEMENT, Qualifiers, /NOREFERENCE_COPY  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Controls whether a new reference copy of an element is created or
    deleted.  If you specify /REFERENCE_COPY, CMS creates a new
    reference copy of the element in the reference copy directory and
    updates the current reference copy directory whenever you create a
    new main line generation of the element.  If you specify
    /NOREFERENCE_COPY, CMS deletes the existing reference copy of the
    element.  The reference copy directory must be established before
    you issue the MODIFY ELEMENT/REFERENCE_COPY command. Use the MODIFY
    LIBRARY/REFERENCE_COPY command to establish the reference copy
    directory.
