      The SET RMS_DEFAULT command in this example sets the multiblock
      count for disk file I/O at 24 for user programs that do not
      set the multiblock count explicitly. The command applies only
      to the current process. Note that the placeholder, VCC_DFW, is
      currently reserved to Compaq.

      The SET RMS_DEFAULT command in this example defines the default
      multibuffer count for I/O magnetic tape operations at 8. Note
      that the placeholder, VCC_DFW, is currently reserved to Compaq.

      The SET RMS_DEFAULT command in this example defines the
      systemwide default multibuffer count at 7 for all sequential
      file operations on disk, magnetic tape, and unit record
      devices. The command also sets the network block count at 16.
      Note that the placeholder, VCC_DFW, is currently reserved to
      Compaq.

      The SET RMS_DEFAULT command in this example sets the default
      multibuffer count for I/O operations on indexed files at 5.
      It also defines the default extend quantity for sequential
      I/O operations at 50 blocks. These defaults apply only to disk
      operations for user programs that do not set the multiblock
      count explicitly. These defaults are limited to the current
      process. Note that the placeholder, VCC_DFW, is currently
      reserved to Compaq.

      The SET RMS_DEFAULT command in this example requests that query
      locking be disabled for the duration of any file opens done by
      images within this process for any read ($GET or $FIND) record
      operations that have both RAB$V_NLK (no lock) and RAB$V_RRL
      (read-regardless) set in the RAB$L_ROP field of the RAB (Record
      Access Block). Note that the placeholder, VCC_DFW, is currently
      reserved to Compaq.
