VMS Help  —  CMS  REMARK
    Places a remark in the library history.

       Format:

          REMARK  "remark"

1  –  Description 

    The REMARK command adds a remark to the library history. When you
    let CMS prompt you for the remark, the length of the remark cannot
    exceed 254 characters. When you issue the remark on the command
    line, the length of the remark cannot exceed 256 characters. The
    remark is recorded in the library history in the following format:

      date time username REMARK "remark"

2  –  Qualifiers

2.1    /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.

2.2    /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 OTHER
       OTHER (D)
       NOOTHER
       NONE--equivalent to NOOTHER

    You can specify either ALL, NONE, or the [NO]OTHER keyword.

    By default, CMS performs occlusion for all objects; that is, CMS
    selects only the first occurrence of a specified object.

2.3    /UNUSUAL 

    Specifies that the remark string placed in the history file be
    marked as an unusual occurrence, so that it appears marked with an
    asterisk in the output from SHOW HISTORY and is included in the
    output from a SHOW HISTORY/UNUSUAL command.

3  –  Example 

    CMS> REMARK "all transactions from this point use modules for
    new system"
    %CMS-S-REMARK, remark added to history file

      This command adds the remark enclosed in quotation marks to the
      library history.
