Directs LIBRARIAN to work with an OpenVMS Alpha object library when used with the /OBJECT qualifier or to work with an OpenVMS Alpha shareable image library when used with the /SHARE qualifier. When used with the /CREATE qualifier, LIBRARIAN creates an OpenVMS Alpha library of either an object or shareable image type depending whether /OBJECT or /SHARE is specified. The default is /ALPHA on OpenVMS Alpha systems and /VAX on OpenVMS VAX systems. The OpenVMS I64 Librarian does not accept this qualifier because it works exclusively with I64 libraries. Format /ALPHA
