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

1 - /APPEND

    Controls whether CMS appends the command output to an existing
    file, or creates a new file. If you specify /APPEND and the output
    file does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you do not provide
    an output file specification (see the description for /OUTPUT),
    the output is appended to SYS$OUTPUT.

2 - /BRIEF

    The /BRIEF qualifier displays the name of the element, the
    generations archived into this file, the name of the person
    who archived the file, the date and time, the remark entered on
    the DELETE GENERATION command, and the name of the library in
    which the original element resided.

3 - /FULL

    The /FULL qualifier displays complete generation file information
    for each archived generation.

4 - /INTERMEDIATE

    The /INTERMEDIATE qualifier displays the generation history for
    the archived generations.

5 - /OUTPUT[=file-specification]

    Directs CMS to write output to the specified file, except for any
    warning and error messages, which are written to SYS$OUTPUT and
    SYS$ERROR. CMS creates a new file if you do not specify /APPEND.
    If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier (or if you specify /OUTPUT
    but do not provide a file specification), CMS directs output to
    the default output device (SYS$OUTPUT). If you omit either the
    file name or the file type component, CMS supplies the missing
    component from the default specification.
