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

    Associates a review comment with one or more specified element
    generations.

       Format:

          REVIEW GENERATION  element-expression "remark"

1 - Restrictions

    o  This command can be used only on element generations that have
       reviews pending.

2 - 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 character 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.

3 - Description

    The REVIEW GENERATION command associates a review remark with the
    specified element generation. The review status of the generation
    must be "pending." You can display the remarks associated with the
    generation by issuing the SHOW REVIEWS_PENDING command.

4 - Qualifiers

 4.1 - /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.

 4.2 - /GENERATION[=generation-expression]

    Specifies the generation of the element with which to associate
    the review remark. If you omit /GENERATION, CMS uses 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.

 4.3 - /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.

 4.4 - /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.

5 - Example

    $ CMS REVIEW GENERATION EXAMPLE.SDML "looks ok to me--JEFF"
    %CMS-S-REVIEWED, generation 3 of element
    DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]EXAMPLE.SDML reviewed

      In this example, the latest generation of the element
      EXAMPLE.SDML is pending review; the REVIEW GENERATION command
      allows users to associate review comments with that generation.
      The generation can then be accepted, canceled, or rejected.
      Use the SHOW REVIEWS_PENDING command to display all generations
      under review in the library.
