Changes the review status of each specified element generation from "pending" to "rejected" and removes it from the review pending list. Format: REJECT GENERATION element-expression "remark"
1 – Command Parameters
element-expression Specifies one or more elements whose generations are to be rejected. An element expression can be an element name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by commas. remark Specifies a character string to be associated with the element generation specified, to be logged in the history file with this command. The remark is enclosed in quotation marks. If no remark was entered, a null remark ("") is logged.
2 – Description
The REJECT GENERATION command changes the review status of each specified element generation from "pending" to "rejected" and removes it from the review pending list. You can use this command only on element generations that have reviews pending (see the description of the REVIEW GENERATION command for more information). If you attempt to reserve a generation that has been rejected, CMS issues a message stating that the generation was rejected, and then prompts you for confirmation. Additionally, further generations created from a rejected generation are marked for review, regardless of the element's review attribute.
3 – Qualifiers
3.1 /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.
3.2 /GENERATION[=generation-expression]
Specifies a particular generation of the element to be rejected. If you omit /GENERATION, CMS rejects the most recently created generation with a review pending. You specify this qualifier only if more than one generation of an element is under review.
3.3 /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.
3.4 /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.
4 – Example
$ CMS REJECT GENERATION EXAMPLE.SDML "don't change this until it is fixed" %CMS-S-REJECTED, generation 1X1 of element DISKX:[PROJECT.CMSLIB]EXAMPLE.SDML rejected This command rejects the latest generation of EXAMPLE.SDML, which was on the review pending list. This generation of EXAMPLE.SDML remains rejected unless you specify a MARK GENERATION command.
