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

1 - /ACL[=(ace[,...])]

    Specifies one or more access control entries (ACEs) to be
    modified. When no ACE is specified, the entire access control
    list (ACL) is affected. Separate multiple ACEs with commas and
    enclose the list in parentheses. The specified ACEs are inserted
    at the beginning of the ACL unless the /AFTER qualifier is used.

2 - /AFTER=ace

    Indicates that all access control entries (ACEs) specified with
    the /ACL qualifier are added after the ACE specified with the
    /AFTER qualifier. By default, any ACEs added to the access control
    list (ACL) are always placed at the top of the list.

3 - /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 - /DEFAULT

    Creates an ACL for one or more specified objects as if the object
    were newly created. The /DEFAULT qualifier propagates the DEFAULT
    option ACEs in the ACL of the entity list to the ACL of the
    specified object. This qualifier can be used only with an object
    that is a library entity, that is, either an element, class, or
    group.

5 - /DELETE

    Indicates that the access control entries (ACEs) specified with
    the /ACL qualifier are to be deleted. If no ACEs are specified
    with the /ACL qualifier, the entire ACL is deleted. If the /ACL
    qualifier specifies an ACE that does not exist in the ACL of the
    specified object, you are notified that the ACE does not exist,
    and the delete operation continues on to the next ACE on the ACL,
    if any exists.

6 - /LIKE=object-specification

    Indicates that the ACL of the specified object is to replace the
    ACL of the object or objects specified with SET ACL. Any existing
    ACEs are deleted before the ACL specified by /LIKE is copied.

    The type of the source and destination objects must be the same.
    No wildcard characters are allowed in the /LIKE parameter.

7 - /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.

8 - /NEW

    Indicates that any existing ACEs in the ACL of the object
    specified with SET ACL are to be deleted. To use the /NEW
    qualifier, you must specify a new ACL or ACE with the /ACL
    qualifier.

9 - /OBJECT_TYPE=type

    Specifies the type of the object whose ACL is being modified.
    There is no default object type; therefore, this qualifier is
    required. The type must be one of the following keywords:

       CLASS
       ELEMENT
       GROUP
       LIBRARY
       COMMAND

10 - /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, OTHER)
       ELEMENT (D)
       NOELEMENT
       GROUP (D)
       NOGROUP
       CLASS (D)
       NOCLASS
       OTHER (D)
       NOOTHER
       NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS, NOOTHER)

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

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

11 - /REPLACE=(ace[,...])

    Deletes the access control entries (ACEs) specified with the /ACL
    qualifier and replaces them with those specified with /REPLACE.
    Any ACEs specified with the /ACL qualifier must exist and must be
    specified in the order in which they appear in the current ACL.
