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

1 - /BASE_SYSTEM

       /BASE_SYSTEM=(base-system-name[,...])

    Selects software products whose base system matches the one
    specified. The base system name identifies both a hardware
    platform and an operating system. The base system name AXPVMS
    denotes an OpenVMS Alpha product, VAXVMS denotes an OpenVMS VAX
    product, and VMS denotes a product applicable to either OpenVMS
    Alpha or VAX.

    Parentheses (())  are optional only when you specify a single
    base system name. They are required when you specify multiple
    base system names.

2 - /FULL

       /FULL
       /NOFULL (default)

    Displays information in 132-column format. The /NOFULL qualifier
    displays a subset of available information in 80-column format.

3 - /PRODUCER

       /PRODUCER=(producer-name[,...])

    Selects software products that the specified manufacturer
    produces.

    Parentheses (())  are optional only when you specify a single
    producer name. They are required when you specify multiple
    producer names.

4 - /PRODUCT

       /PRODUCT=(product-name[,...])

    Selects products with the specified product name.

    Parentheses (())  are optional only when you specify a single
    product name. They are required when you specify multiple product
    names.

5 - /REMOTE

       /REMOTE
       /NOREMOTE (default)

    Uses the product database on a system other than the currently
    running system. This qualifier is primarily for use in command
    procedures that Compaq supplies. Incorrect use of this qualifier
    can corrupt the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility
    database, corrupt installed products, or cause other problems.
    In some cases, /REMOTE can be useful with the CONFIGURE and SHOW
    commands.

    When you use /REMOTE, the following logical names must be
    defined:

    o  PCSI$SYSDEVICE must specify the physical disk name of the
       target system disk. This disk must be mounted and allocated to
       the process executing the PRODUCT command.

    o  PCSI$SPECIFIC must point to a system root on PCSI$SYSDEVICE.
       It must be defined in the following form, where x is a valid
       system root:

       PCSI$SYSDEVICE:[SYSx.]

    Note that the definition of PCSI$SYSDEVICE and PCSI$SPECIFIC
    specify only where the utility will find or place its database.
    These logical names do not affect the /DESTINATION.

6 - /VERSION

       /VERSION=(version-number[,...])

    Selects software products that have the specified version.

    Parentheses (())  are optional only when you specify one version
    number. They are required when you specify more than one version
    number.
