VMS Help CMS, FETCH, Qualifiers, /NOTES="string"  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Temporarily establishes the notes attribute for the element,
    regardless of whether the element previously had the notes
    attribute enabled. If neither the /NOTES or /NONOTES qualifier is
    specified for an element, but the element has the notes attribute
    enabled, notes are appended to the lines of the file when it is
    retrieved by the FETCH or RESERVE command.

    The quoted string specifies the format of the note. The quoted
    string can contain text or the characters #G (or #g), or both.
    If you specify /NOTES for an element that does not have the notes
    attribute enabled, then you must also specify /POSITION.
