1.4 – Qualifiers
1.4.1 /CONFIRM
Controls whether CMS prompts you for confirmation before each transaction. When you specify /CONFIRM and run CMS in interactive mode, CMS prompts you for confirmation. If you type YES, ALL, TRUE, or 1, CMS executes the transaction. If you type NO, QUIT, FALSE, 0, or press RETURN or CTRL/Z, no action is performed. If you type any other character, CMS continues to prompt until you type an acceptable response. CMS does not prompt for confirmation in batch mode.
1.4.2 /GENERATION[=generation-expression]
Specifies which generation of the element is to be marked as having review pending status. If you omit /GENERATION, CMS marks the most recent generation on the main line of descent.
1.4.3 /LOG (D)
Controls whether CMS displays success and informational messages on the default output device. By default, if the command executes successfully, CMS displays a success message. If you specify /NOLOG, success and informational messages are suppressed. Any warning, error, or fatal error messages are displayed regardless of whether /LOG or /NOLOG is specified.
1.4.4 /OCCLUDE[=option,...]
Controls whether CMS selects the first instance of the specified object, or all instances of the specified object in the library search list. The options field contains one or more keywords associated with the name of the object. The options field can contain the following keywords: ALL--equivalent to (ELEMENT, GROUP, CLASS) ELEMENT (D) NOELEMENT GROUP (D) NOGROUP CLASS (D) NOCLASS NONE--equivalent to (NOELEMENT, NOGROUP, NOCLASS) You can specify either ALL or NONE, or any combination of the [NO]ELEMENT, [NO]GROUP, and [NO]CLASS keywords. By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.
