VMS Help ACCOUNTING, /IDENT  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Selects or rejects records for the specified processes.

    Format

      /IDENT=([-]pid[,...])

1 - Description

    The /IDENT qualifier uses the value of the process identifier
    (PID) field to select records for processing. This field is
    present in all records except file backward link and file forward
    link records. For print job records, it contains the PID of the
    process that submitted the job.

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

    Each process-id must be a hexadecimal number of eight digits or
    less.

    See also the /OWNER qualifier, which selects or rejects records
    for subprocesses created by specified processes.
