The /REMOTE_ID qualifier uses the value of the remote ID field to select records for processing. This field is present in all records except file backward link and file forward link records. For records that contain information about DECnet for OpenVMS requests, this field contains a string that identifies the user who made the request. If the remote process was on an OpenVMS node, this is the user name of the user at the remote node. The /REMOTE_ID qualifier selects only records that have the specified values in the remote ID field. If you precede the values with a minus sign, it selects all records except those with the specified values. See also the /NODE and /ADDRESS qualifiers, which select or reject records for DECnet for OpenVMS requests made by nodes with specified names and addresses respectively.
