VMS Help CMS, ACCEPT, GENERATION  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Changes the review status of each specified element generation
    from "pending" to "accepted" and removes it from the review
    pending list.

       Format:

          ACCEPT GENERATION  element-expression "remark"

1 - Command Parameters

 element-expression

    Specifies one or more elements. An element expression can be an
    element name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of
    these separated by commas.

 remark

    Specifies a string to be logged in the history file with this
    command, usually used to explain why the command was entered. The
    remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark was entered, a
    null remark ("") is logged.

2 - Description

    The ACCEPT GENERATION command changes the review status of each
    specified element generation from "pending" to "accepted" and
    removes it from the review pending list.

    Use this command only on element generations that have reviews
    pending (see the description of the REVIEW GENERATION command for
    more information). If you access the generation once it has been
    accepted, CMS no longer informs you of any review status.

3 - Qualifiers

 3.1 - /CONFIRM

    Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each
    transaction.

    When you specify /CONFIRM and run CMS in interactive mode, CMS
    prompts you for confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1,
    CMS executes the transaction.  If you type NO, QUIT, FALSE, 0,
    or press RETURN or CTRL/Z, no action is performed. If you type
    any other character, CMS continues to prompt until you type an
    acceptable response.

    CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.

 3.2 - /GENERATION[=generation-expression]

    Specifies a particular generation of the element to be accepted.
    If you omit /GENERATION, CMS accepts the most recently created
    generation with a review pending. You specify this qualifier only
    if more than one generation of an element is under review.

 3.3 - /LOG (D)

    Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages
    on the default output device. By default, if the command executes
    successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify
    /NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any
    warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless
    of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.

 3.4 - /OCCLUDE[=option,...]

    Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified
    object, or all instances of the specified object in the library
    search list. The options field contains one or more keywords
    associated with the name of the object. The options field can
    contain the following keywords:

       ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP, CLASS)
       ELEMENT (D)
       NOELEMENT
       GROUP (D)
       NOGROUP
       CLASS (D)
       NOCLASS
       NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS)

    You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the
    [NO]ELEMENT, [NO]GROUP, and [NO]CLASS keywords.

    By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
    selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

4 - Example

    CMS> ACCEPT GENERATION EXAMPLE.SDML "this example cleared for
    publication"
    %CMS-S-ACCEPTED, generation 3 of element
     DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]EXAMPLE.SDML accepted

      This command accepts the most recently created generation of
      the element EXAMPLE.SDML. The generation is removed from the
      review pending list.
